Salem, MA, October 2008 : I was in Salem for the wedding of my friends Danny and Laura, and had a chance to walk around town. I understand that Salem celebrates Halloween all year long, but fortunately I happened to be there in October, when a Halloween theme is a bit more bewitching than, say, in June. A less famous aspect of its history is its important role in American trade in the early days of our Republic. You will note pictures of the trading vessel, the Friendship of Salem, as well as the historic Customs House.

Shiner, TX, Aug 2008 : In the summer of 2008 my brother took an internship with the Shiner Brewery in Shiner, TX, and I took a trip with my dad to visit him. The physical brewery itself is called the "Spoetzl Brewery," with the history documented in one of the photos below. All Shiner beer is made in that plant. During the internship, Shiner provided housing for Paul and the other intern: at the beautiful and historic Kral Family homestead, about three miles outside of town. Many of these pictures are from the homestead, and a number of them look back towards town. Shiner is interesting for having been founded by German and Czech immigrants, and that shows in their traditions of beer and meat...and also in the magnificent Catholic church they have built, which stands out on the horizon from far away, making Shiner look a bit like a European village in the distance (it's not, but it has its own charm). Paul now has a permanent position with the Shiner brewery, but no longer lives on the Kral homestead.

Big Sur, March 2008 : Taken while driving from Carmel-by-the-Sea to San Simeon on the Pacific Coast Highway, on a beautiful day in March. At Big Sur, we stopped in the Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, and I hiked a trail to the top of a small mountain, to a place called Buzzards' Roost, where I was able to get some good views of the much taller nearby mountains. This country is incredibly beautiful.

New Mexico, Feb 2009 : While in Santa Fe for a conference last February, I took a drive through the desert on the High Road to Taos, stopping at the famous Chimayo mission and shrine, as well as catching some good views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. We went skiing at the Santa Fe Ski Area, and the view to the southwest was extraordinary, as I hope the pictures might imply (I doubt they do the view justice). Finally, I took a morning to walk around Santa Fe itself and capture some impressions.
