PARIS
This past 4th of July weekend, my family and I took a road trip to Paris to see the sights. This was my third time visiting and my wife’s second; however, it would be my 13-year-old daughter’s first. Before the trip, we planned and reserved tickets for some of the main attractions in the city. We departed Germany on a Friday afternoon and drove through the beautiful countryside. Along the way, we passed Saarbrucken as we entered France. The route took us passed Metz and Reims. Additionally, we drove by several WWI battlefields, including Meuse-Argonne and Verdun. Around 5 pm, we entered the outskirts of Paris, and the traffic reminded us of New York City. We arrived at the La Villa Maillot Hotel, within walking distance of the Arc de Triomphe.

Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg, TN
Traveling is so important to me. When I go somewhere, and I finally return home, I find I appreciate being at home for a few days. That being said, summer vacation for school is coming to a close, and even though we didn't get to do a whole lot this year, we got to do just enough to say that our summer was pretty awesome.

HOLA, MAMI
Being fluent in the Spanish Language is a real goal of mine, and in my efforts to improve, I've taken my shot at communicating with a range of Hispanics. In the midst of my practice, I find myself unsure of my statements more often than I ever am. It's been quite a humbling experience with many mixed messages. I've come to understand that as a man who aspires to learn a language different than my own, I am vulnerable. I'm taking on completely new terminology and rules of speech, and I can only trust that my studies are leading me in the right direction.
