Birthdays

Mathias, celebrating Weiwei's birthday and wondering why 
there is a half deflated balloon behind him...

Nuno, one month before, celebrating the big 30!!

the common denominator:

Quack!

Should I be chasing geese, or is it a wild goose chase?

Buttercup Lane

Quatro nerds, a "ver" o House of Cards,

depois de uma almoçarada de robalo grelhado e uma jogatana de Troika.

Dumb tourists - the kiss

Neither a sailor nor a nurse. Neither Times Square nor V-J Day...

Just dumb tourists on spring break :)

Dumb tourists - the ladder

Easter Bunnies

Spotted working late, on an Easter Sunday, at Balboa Park.

Oakland Zoo

the African Savannah

two gibbons that will make any Portuguese remember this song

riding the cable car

and these reminded me of my cats (ugh... wait, maybe it's the other way around)

Old Sacramento

"I'll be back." Just like that famous line from The Terminator...

The laser tag experience

Apparently, this is paintball for sissies. Or so I'm told. No wonder Dan was dancing around the arena in that effeminate way... He tried convincing us that the reason he was walking sideways and waving his arms was to cover the sensors in his vest, but that was clearly an elaborate excuse and no one really bought it ;)

the arena

From Tahoe with love

A trip to Lake Tahoe, in search of the last snow of the season.

Emerald Bay

All the way to Kings Beach and back...

giant trees

Contrasting quartet

Xi looks contemplative, Mathias is having the time of his life, I'm screaming like a little girl and Weiwei is simply trying not to throw up...

another angle (captured by Nuno):
