Usual high quality photos, here. Most of them did not make it off the cutting room floor, as expected.

Another excellent dinner at the Grill in Los Altos. It’s such a great place. We have a new favorite waitress there too, Tara.
Fun in Los Altos to celebrate Tommy’s graduation from USSB.

Having recently got married I experienced my first real American Fathers day, now that I have an American Father-In-Law. We had a nice BBQ by the pool, a swim and just a little booze.

Went with Brian and Anand to see the second game this year against LA Galaxy at the Oakland Colosseum. This was also the first time I’ve seen Earthquakes win (2-1)

After meeting with Janae to pick up our wedding photos we had a nice dinner at the Cliff House in SF.

With over 3000 photos taken during the Honeymoon, i’ve been spending a lot of time editing.
One of my favorite pictures
They’re all edited now and are slowly being uploaded to my server, but at 2.5GB for the selection of best photos, it’s going to take a while.
Tony and Alex got a Trolley car with a bar and disco onboard for their combined Bachelor/Bachelorette party. We visited a few bars along the way, for bathroom breaks and then ended up at The Mighty for The Martinez Brothers. Since it was going to be a boozy evening we got a room at The Palace hotel, very nice!
Trolley Mayhem
I drank a lot and don’t really remember getting back to the Palace hotel. Sunday was pretty much a write off due to the hangover.
Back from our Honeymoon in Bali. Stayed at the Maya in Ubud, then Nikko Resort in Nusa Dua.

When you have a few hours spare in Singapore’s Changi Airport, take the free tour. It’s an excellent way to spend 2 hours and see this wonderful city.

I didn’t drive in Bali, we were driven everywhere in Bali. We got a lot of advice about not driving given how dangerous the roads are and how there are no rules. Apparently; “nobody breaks the rules of the road in Bali, there are no rules”.
Scooters and Rice workers going home from work
Here’s a few things I experienced
- Scooters are suitable transport for up to 4 people
- A scooter carrying only one person is taking up too much road space
- Horns are used to indicate; you are passing, getting someone’s attention, approaching a junction and about to go round a corner
- When there are two lanes, you drive between the lanes unless there’s someone next to you
- When there’s 1 lane in each direction and nobody else on the road, drive in the center of the road
- Car should never be drive about 35mph
- Trucks can go any speed
Janae Shields has published the initial photos from our wedding. They’re online now. I am so very happy with them, she has done some amazing work
