A New Year

Firstly my apologies to everyone for not posting for quite some time. As the holidays were full of travel for me I am just now getting caught up with my blog. Thanks for your patience!

Secondly, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I hope this year brings lots of joy and happiest to you all. For me it was a bittersweet New Years Eve in a way this time. Seeing 2010 pass was a bit of a sad affair. With no exaggeration I can say that 2010 was my best year ever; with new and fun business school challenges, leaving my comfort zone in Seattle, and having SO many new people join my life. In a way I didn't want 2010 to ever end. As Farida rightly said it, "I'm sad to see it go."

My challenge now will be to make 2011 even better. And that is a heck of a challenge.



For your viewing pleasure I have posted some picture below of recent travel to Salzburg, Austria. Again, Happy New Years wishes everybody!!

A rugby trip AND a trip to the hospital

Share

6 hour bus ride from Madrid to Barcelona... Imagine how a rugby team keeps occupied!











A proud team with no idea how to play rugby














After a muddy game we all need a shower... and me... I needed a doctor











Putting a dislocated shoulder in is not the most comfortable thing in the world, but this is the price we pay for GLORY!!!














There is something wrong with this picture. For me it was 1 1/2 hours of "wrong picture" waiting for the doctor to finish his coffee break. Not fun. Socialized health care is NOT GOOD















This player is good as new














Already in the Hall of Fame. I'm destined to be a champion

The winter has arrived in Europe

Not a bad way to experience snow for the first time Farida!





With winter baring down on us, it's nice to be in Europe amongst the history and scenery. The hot spiced wine is being served to keep us warm and the women are trading their heels for boots. It's gonna be cold for a while, but it will be a nice winter.

Wing Night

As a way of revealing a little bit of American culture to my Egyptian folk I recently prepared a hefty portion of hot wings for us to enjoy.







I believe they were enjoyed...

Street art in Logroño

It may be a factor of being a mid-sized town distant from any major metropolis, or maybe it's that Logrono sits as the capital of a romantic wine-growing region, but either way there seems to be an art movement forming here to this point unreported on. These streetside paintings seem to be ignored by most walking around this city, but it stuck my imagination. It's impressive, at least to me.
