Johanna, Naomi, her friend Leah, Jaxon, and I are sailing this week (July 27 – Aug 2) in the archipelago between Stockholm and the Baltic sea on a Delphia 28 GT. The Swedish ideal of tying up to an unmarked (and for me unknown) rock cliff in just a meter or two of water takes some nerve, but so far so good.

I’m tracking the trip on Google Maps, if you’re interested.

Johanna and I spent the last 5 days in Barcelona, Spain. We had a great time exploring the city and staying with friends. Below are some pictures from the trip, but Barcelona seemed both too large and too small to be really photogenic. By that I mean that there were lots of interesting and diverse neighborhoods that are distinct from the surrounding neighborhoods (too big) but the town is full of quaint alleys and squares crowded with tourist (too small).

On my last days in Puerto Rico, I rented a car and drove west along the beach some and then south on route 10 and 111 through the mountains to the surfing town Rincon, where I spent the night. I really liked every part of the island that I saw.

For the last 4 days, I’ve been in Puerto Rico for a conference. First I stayed in San Juan, the last few days I’ve been in meetings in Rio Grande, and tomorrow I’ll rent a car to explore some more of the island and then head back to San Juan for one more night.

It’s been a beautiful island with friendly people, good food, and fabulous weather. Here are some photos:

The first photo is from the Great Blue Hill observatory in Milton, MA. It was around 6:30 AM as I walked the half mile trail up the hill and I crossed paths with a whitetail buck, doe and fawn on the way.

The next photo was taken from Wollaston Beach, Quincy.

Both photos taken June 13, 2008.
