It had been three years since I had last been to the US, and so it was great to visit my friends and family, and do a little shopping and sightseeing. The trip back home inluded four planes and a four hour drive, so we were pretty tired when we finally got there.
The next few days went by in a whirlwind of shopping and christmas parties. We also went shopping in some of the cooler places like the K Street Mall, which is located in Old Sacramento. The weather was great (though a bit too dry for this time of year), and having christmas in America was a ton of fun. After christmas I went with my friends to Tahoe, where we drove completely around the lake. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to do anything in the snow because there simply wasn’t any.
Before my trip ended I had a chance to go to the river, shoot an airsoft rifle, ride a dirt buggy, go over the golden gate bridge, eat at an Afganistan restaurant, and more. Here are some of the pictures I took. I’ll have another post soon talking about something that was really disappointing to me on this trip.

We haven’t been back to the states in a long while as well ( two years). I teach ESL in Phuket at the moment, and one of the teachers I work with taught in the JET program. I was in Korea for a year before coming here with my family.
Lovely photos!!
