Basketball in jeans and flip flops

After a grueling sixteen hours Saular and I finally finished the 900+ mile trip from Vancouver, B.C. to Salt Lake City, Utah...It took far too long and was far too boring...Luckily we had my laptop and a lot of movies. Now that we're back we've been playing basketball as much as possible in our backyard. The concrete that is our court has a whole mess of cracks and is littered with rocks, however, its still really fun. Especially in jeans and flip flops...let me know how you feel about these photos, because I've been trying to change up the style in which I take sports photos...




The Northwest: on to Vancouver

After three nights in Seattle Saular and I moved further north, crossed the US/Canada border then spent four nights in Vancouver B.C. There's honestly not a whole lot to downtown Vancouver other than debauchery, sushi restaurants and Indian food, however, we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. When the weather was cooperating we explored the many "hot spots", ate a copious amount of CHEAP sushi and took some photos.

The northwest: on to Seattle

After arriving in Seattle Saular and I were given a heavily guided tour by Jaspreet and Nat's map of Vashon island for three days. We spent the majority of our time there in Alki, Vashon and the "U district" all of which are great places with LOTS to do. Here are a few images I managed to get when the weather was cooperating.



The Northwest: Portland

For the first week of spring break my friend, Saular and I spent a week exploring Portland, Seattle and Vancouver B.C. Saular flew into Portland along with Danielle Witt and Jaspreet Gill to come watch my lacrosse game against the University of Portland. After my game we strolled through downtown Portland then had a bomb dinner at this great sushi restaurant called Sinju. After the long and rainy day we spent the night at Dani's apartment in downtown Portland. The next morning Saular, Jaspreet and I set out on the road to Seattle, well after a visit to this great baguette shop called Saint Honore.
