Mt. Rainier – A Walk in the Clouds

It's nice day for hiking but difficult for photography. At the end of the day, nothing beat the feeling of sitting in the cozy lodge, watching the gloomy weather outside and having a cold beer after a long walk.

Mt. Rainier – Sunrise

We went to Mt. Rainier with the expectation to see blooming wildflowers against the majestic mountains, but we only had a glimpse of the mountain before the clouds swallowed in everything.

Tanzania – Lake Eyasi

Although the tribe visit might be staged, we got a chance to know how Tanzanians live in the rural area near Lake Eyasi.

Tanzania – Lake Manyara National Park

At Lake Manyara, I finally corrected my misunderstanding about East African Rift Valley - there is no valley, but more like a long cliff.

Big Sur

Passing by Big Sur many times, we finally had a chance to stopped by several Big Sur's most famous landmarks during our stay in Carmel.

Carmel-by-the-Sea

Going to Carmel is certainly not as exotic as our other trips, but it's also much easier and cozier.

Tanzania – Tarangire National Park

Although not as famous as Serengeti, Tarangire National Park has the most diverse landscape, vegetation and wildlife in Tanzania's northern safari circuit.

Tanzania – Arusha National Park

Arusha National Park offers good hike trails to dominating Mt. Meru, access to the dramatic landscape created by the eruption of the volcano, and plenty of opportunities to view wildlife.

Tanzania – Arusha

After spending almost 24 hours flying, we finally arrived at the starting point of our journey, Arusha.
