ME:
The images I have selected display important aspects of my life. Each image tells a story of who I am, where I am going and where I have been.
Pico, Azores. This is the island where both my parents were born. These Portuguese Islands located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean is where I find my roots. My grandfather was a winemaker and fisherman, my grandmother was a knitter and life was simple. I hope to return to these islands soon, return to my roots.

Although life in the United States is not as simple, it is here that I find my many hobbies. What I enjoy most is the outdoors. The United States has some of the most breathtaking scenery around. There is nothing I enjoy better than packing up my Jeep and heading to “The Lost Coast”.
There is nothing better than sitting on my couch and enjoying football season. I love to watch and attend college and professional football games. Sometimes, I even make it back to my high school football games! My favorite professional football team would have to be the 49ers! Go Niners!
If I am not camping, working or watching football, I am either working on my Jeep or out on a Jeep trail with my Jeep. Ever since my dad first took me on the Rubicon trail, in our family Cherokee, I have been convinced and amazed at what these little vehicles can do. My Jeep is also my ‘getaway from life’ vehicle. If I had a stressful week, I am out with the Jeep somewhere and nowhere.
You know that guy on the corner of Highway 101 and Mathilda Ave. in Sunnyvale? You know how he is holding a cardboard sign? Well, every time I come home, I hand him either a few dollars or some food. He is always very thankful and every once in a while, I see a smile. I believe that I am a very giving person. Maybe it is because of my past, or maybe not, but I do believe that the more you give, the better this world becomes.

Great picture of the Azores. I hope to make it there some day.
I also really like that last pic of the hands holding each other...
It is good to see that you have many hobbies that make you happy. Some people are always wishing that they had something to do. You seem to always have something to do. Good luck in the future.
Thats neat, your roots are in the Islands? Thats nice that you want to go back there one day. I love the photos of the island, truely beautiful.
That's awesome! How those islands are of personal significance to you. The islands kind of remind me of Sisterhood of Traveling Pants. How one character goes to Greece & finds her roots. But doubt you would be interested since it's bit of a chick flick. haha
& that's very sweet of you to help out the man every now & then.
