My own 365 (+1) Project

29 February 2008 by kristarella

Set in San Francisco

29 February 2008 by kristarella

This is my last instalment of photos for now. I’m sure there will be more on my photoblog sometime soon. Around the bay I’d bought a City Pass, which included a ticket for a Blue and Gold cruise around the bay. It wasn’t the nicest boat I’d been on and the commentary by “Captain Nemo” […]

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
