Most North Americans would shudder at the thought of themselves or others loudly slurping while eating, but in Japan, its not only expected, but encouraged. Its believed that the practice originated as an olfactory experience — slurping soba noodles simply augmented the aromatic flavors when air was taken in through the mouth at the same time. From there, as other dishes such as ramen proliferat Read on...
Ohio is the state with the second highest number of covered bridges, with 140. Only Pennsylvania has more. On this visit to Athens, Susan and I wanted to seek out some of the covered bridges of Athens County.

After a quiet and solid night sleep, we had a slightly slower morning, but were still walking by 9, for another 20km day. After seeing another waterfall, we headed up the steep but brief track to the track along the ridge and followed this along with magnificent views into the valley. We then chose the lower route of the two options (way marked by an old tractor frame) down into the valley and wer Read on...

It is new and has been purpose built by Cycle Journeys to cover the area from Sailors Cutting through to Otematata where you used to have to cycle along the road. Also, the path from Omarama Read on...
Left the hotel about 10am to go get tickets for the boys to see a show. I introduced them to the guy I had bought the tickets from the other day and they got a good deal.
We then walked all the way up 7th Ave to The Plaza for brunch only to find out they are closed. Zack lost a few brownie points there. We ended up at The Boathouse in Central Park. It was extremely busy but worth the walk and wai Read on...

I departed from Nacogdoches County for a two hour drive to Cedar Creek Dragway. (I made a stop on the way in Athens, Texas to shoot the Henderson County Courthouse.)

The track manager was very helpful to Read on...
