Irish Rugby


The only sport that I really enjoy watching over here...

Leinster (in blue) defeated Edinburgh in a wild finish 37-28.

These guys are tough. No pads and no fake injuries as in soccer. Rugby is the real deal...

Happy Mother's Day!

Wicklow Mountains


I took this with a camera phone, believe it or not.

Definitely no Photoshopping here...

We went for a hike in the nearby Wicklow mountains and I took this on a whim.

The unbelievable beauty of nature!

One of my most personal ambitions is to help bring awareness to the plight of those living in Kibera, Africa's largest slum.

John Muga is one of those residents...

Saying goodbye to Cuba...


My last sight of Havana as I head for home...

Old Havana



The old town is bounded by real and replica cannons and cannonballs buried in the streets. Makes for a more interesting tourist experience.

Remembrance of Hurricanes Past


Baseball-sized rocks remain embedded in this tree from a past hurricane...
