Night Market
The missus and I are visiting Taiwan. We took off from Richmond on October 27th and after about 26 hours of traveling and layovers in Chicago and Tokyo we landed in Taipei.

Richmond Opera Fund Raiser

A couple of weeks ago Sophia and I attended a presentation by Jared Diamond, author of Guns, Germs, and Steel among other works. After the presentation we went to a reception where we got our pictures taken with Dr. Diamond and also had the chance to talk to him for a few minutes.
