a few more sun sets and rises and minor panic attacks

I'm very excited for my trip, but I'm also nervous and a little overwhelmed.  Its going to be so much fun, this much I know, but its also going to be expensive and lotsss of driving.  I'm glad we're giving ourselves a few weeks rather than a few days this time, because I would really like to be able to enjoy all the new places and sights this time.  Not that I didn't last time, we just seemed to always be enjoying them from inside the car, with my one gloved hand hanging out the window taking pictures as we go.  So yes, this trip will be great.  And warm, and fun, and truly enjoyable.  

Saying good bye to Tahoe is getting harder and harder...with the date approaching I'm truly appreciating all of the friends that I have here, all of the good times we've had, and all of the amazing things I've experienced.  I've been out and about almost every night of the last two weeks, taking a cruise on the Tahoe Queen, taking Salsa dancing lessons, watching sunsets and rises, having dinner with friends, potlucks, and so much more.  I have to keep reminding myself not to idealize this place because I know I'm leaving.  I don't belong here, and I know that, so why draw it out?  No, I'm leaving.  Staying is too easy, it doesn't make sense.  Not to me.  so its onward, to new adventures and such...all very exciting and just a touch scary.  Anyway here are some more pictures of sunsets and rises and beautiful Lake Tahoe.

(these are all kinds of out of order because I didn't upload them right, but you get the idea, and i'm still counting them allllllL!)

  1. Hi,
    Looking at your pictures gives me the sense of hope that only a sunrise can give. I am a Computer Science student and I am trying to make a HD display in which people can interact with the images (sunrises) in a dynamic way. The plan right now is to take the pictures myself and to ask a few friend across the globe to do it too. I was wondering if you could help me out with either material, advises or by feedback. If you interested in knowing more about my project let me know jd_mendez@hotmail.com

    Right now I am looking for a package of pictures of the same sunrise (120 pictures) to show time movement.
