Rental In Poconos Prom Groups

contrast!

Firstly, sorry for the delay! Life in the Philippines is indeed equivalent to 10 lives in Paris with the same number of hours in a day but I'll try to catch it all quickly!

Two weeks ago, it was the first basketball game of the season from my university (Ateneo), and its historic rival, La Salle University (another university for rich kids, but hey ...).
had been lucky enough to have tickets reserved by the Foreign Office programs, because students had their normal, queued from 5am to have theirs!
So after a morning with Musmos (I'd do a little rundown on my activities after-school), we went to eat (with Tony, our great guide assoc 'for foreign students), Marie Laure Celine and Doug (an American, regular student, who is also the export of handbags, I confess that I did not really understand what he was doing there) in China Town. I've already talked a bit about the neighborhood of Manila, but I'm still impressed contrasts when you get there, everything is written in Chinese, the streetlights are Chinese lanterns, and you find Chinese food everywhere, and c is really good, there are also Chinese export products in every corner (vases, trinkets, ...).



























They even have their own service Firefighters with trucks super designs, and PURPLE!
Speaking of purple, people who know me well know what it is my relationship with this color combination of blue and red color or blueberry améthyse but also and especially of Ube.
What exactly is this strange thing you say?
Well that's what I wondered for some time on my arrival in the Philippines can be found at the ube cake, ice cream in ube, and whatever else you want (in purple of course ), but no way to see what it looks like !










The ube is this:

C is to say a kind of sweet potato, or as wiki: a purple yam (5min before understanding what it was a yam), but the history is important in the purple!
So yes, this country is really made for me.

After this interlude colorful, let me take you back to the other side of the mirror in the world of Philippine college basketball. Come into the arena, and follow me.
Some pictures to start:
Now you've got it, a green side (La Salle) and a blue side (Ateneo), with two teams, a ball, a band on each side, and cheerleaders, and you have a real match with American, but with Filipino players. Atmosphere quite funny, no need to go to U.S. to see a real basketball game! Well, Ateneo lost, but hey, just for the choreography of CHEAR, it was worth it!

Some additional pictures:

The cheerleaders (and leaders), our mascot, the Blue Eagle.



The day ends in style with the anniversary of a Japanese Jotah in a large house on Katipunan, you can feel the atmosphere of the International Paradise!

Enjoy!

Type Of Weave Keri Hilson

AH AS MY SHOES HAVE TRAVELED MUCH

Two weeks have passed since our return from our drive back to reality.

Leaving Arches National Park, we decided to latch. We wanted to be in Quebec for the celebration of my mom and give her a surprise, July 20. Mission accomplished in less than three days, we traveled 3500 km. There are superman, but here we have renamed PO superdriver . On the road, we admired the Colorado mountains and breathe the fresh air of the Rockies. We also slept in a rest area located on the waterfront, it was super nice. Subsequently, we crossed Nebraska, Iwoa, Illinois and worse there was flat, flat, flat and stuff straight. Sleep not too far from Chicago. We continued the road, we drive to Michigan and finally arrived in the evening, one is near Toronto and it's starting to speak French. How sweet it is in our ears, French.
Using our road early, we could unlock the door of our apartment at 4pm, two hours before the surprise party for my mother. We spent a wonderful evening to find our parents and tell them details of our stories.

past two weeks, there's really no time to be bored. Our days are very busy, but there is a little empty. I do not know what is it? Perhaps the sound of the sea? Maybe it's the freedom of being a traveler and discover everything? Maybe what I miss are the hellos of people you meet on the street?

were sometimes flash and PO and I looked at each other and say: Hey, people are stressed bin here!

For my part, my resolution is to enjoy ... Biting into life as an apple and to do that, I'm already preparing my next trip! haha

Wedding Colors Persimmon

RACE TO THE CANYONS

We said adios to Las Vegas on Tuesday, July 12 to 8hPM. We fully enjoyed our last day in the mad metropolis (game, buffet, shopping ...). PO was eager to see the Hover Dam. Straddling the border of Nevada and Arizona, this 228 meter high dam has been created to serve the water and electricity to cities in the region, including Las Vegas. Arrived before the Hover Dam, I take a picture more or less beautiful because of the darkness, but Po is keen to have one good to show his father. He decided to park anyhow in a place where one can clearly read: "Closed "Crossing the road to approach and better capture the structure. Suddenly, a minute later I hear a siren screaming. Sat in the car, I shout: "PO PO PO the POPOlice!

officer asked for our papers and we said that we break the law by being stationed here and the amount of the fine is $ 200 U.S.. Disaster (as Lisa said)!! Alarmed by the astronomical amount that makes us live a full two weeks in Nicaragua, baraguine one: "... Please Mr. Officer, we apologize and we're going now! . I do not know if this is our lovely accent that did it cracked, but we finally hit the road sweaty forehead, mouth open, but with our U.S. $ 200 in his pocket and a nice picture!

canyons, it has over the head. Unfortunately, we did not have time to visit them in depth, but we come to notice and admire, however, the peculiarities of each.

Grand Canyon : After having heard so much, here we are, before this huge hole 1,600 meters deep and more or less 16 kilometers wide. The Colorado River that runs through the canyon on 450 km from the hollow six million years and has uncovered rocks as old as two billion years, half the age of the earth. (Lonely Planet) We only visited the southern side which is the most accessible and well equipped.

Glen Canyon (Lac Powell) : Nous nous sommes émerveillés devant ce lac, le deuxième plus grand bassin artificiel des Etats-Unis. Il s’étend entre l’Utah et l’Arizona. Il représente réellement un oasis en plein désert et le bleu de son eau nous donne qu’une seule envie, y plonger. Evidemment, devant ce magnifique paysage, nous n’avons pu résister. Nous avons enfilé nos maillots et savourer le moment en s’offrant une séance de frisbee et une longue Bathing before the Lone Rock.

Zion : Promised Land Rasta, or rather road construction. We went through long tunnels dug in the spectacular cayon and zigzagged through the winding roads to get to the Visitor Center. The day was hot and crowded parking. Comments from a family Belgian encountered, we were dissuaded from making the tour bus a half hours. Instead, we preferred resigning pampered (changing the gas filter) before cooling off in the River.

Bryce Canyon : Getting to Bryce was a pleasure in itself. We through a beautiful section of the Dixie National Forest (Route 14). We visited Bryce mainly by car and followed the steps suggested by the Lonely Planet suggested that we start at the end. Indeed, the succession of viewpoints delighted us gradually. Bryce Canyon is characterized by its amphitheaters (gathering of rocks in a semicircle) and commonly known as hoodoos hoodoos. Bryce Point, the last point of observation that we did, we were impressed by its vastness and its view of 180 degrees. We were also able to ascertain its depth (300 meters), its cliffs and its variety of shades of orange which explains the stone age.

Capital Reef : By chance and thanks to the valuable advice of the Ranger, we've taken Route 12 and then 24 to make us to Arches. Again, the scenery was breathtaking. Also in Dixie National Forest, we climbed the hills that led us to over 9000 feet. Vegetation were abundant as the animals (deer, birds, bison, llamas, cows ...) and fresh air was so good. Our day ended at the site of Capital Reef National Park. I, immediately, was bewitched by planting apricot trees that lined pêchiers and campgrounds. Mostly I jumped for joy when I read: "U Pick". Here I am picking and crunching teeth into the tasty apricots. Peaches, they will only be ready in two weeks. Yep! I thought about myself to stay two more weeks! hahaha

might as well be at Capital Reef National Park, why not enjoy it? So we decided to go the scenic route, hoping to find new types of piles of rocks. We have been overwhelmed by the view. The route followed the footsteps of the river (Grand Wash) and led us through the canyon. Broken neck, trying to see the tops of rocks. It was fantastic! We also walked to the uranium mine that was used to produce radioactivity curative, but also served as a bandit hideout in Butch Cassidy. At the end of the paved path, we pushed further into the trail, the same that were used by early pioneers. You could also read some names carved into the rock and the years of their passage. Enough of our morning, we took the road towards our last stop.

Arches : Last visited national park, but not least. We quickly went around Moab, Arches of the nearby town to fill our water bottles and our stomachs. The visit of the National Park begins with a steep climb in car apical summit opens with beautiful orange red rock formations. Walls and rock walls that leave us speechless, speechless. When visiting Arches, we are excited at the sight of a sandstone arch. We mainly concentrate our jaunts to the park at sites easily accessible because it was already late for our entrance into the park. Delicate Arch, Balanced Rock and the Windows section we have enough, it was magnificent!

Where am I?

As noted, our days were filled with canyons, forests, deserts, wonder, while our nights we are almost always content to the popular hotel chain: Walmart (Kingman, Page, Cedar City).

Having discovered some national parks of the American West was a great experience, but our timing was really too tight. In fact, it is only within them, when you feel so small compared to the magic of nature, we realize we could have spent six months of their visit to our holiday and despite this, we would still have enough time. No photograph can truly reflect the grandeur of landscapes and perfect.
