Biking in Transylvania

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 16:39:00 -0700

What a wonderful experience riding mountain bikes in the hills and valleys of Transylvania for 3 days. It rained on us, we got lost, bitten by mosquitos, ate it coming down a mountain and got covered in mud, but it was one of the most enjoyable experiences I've ever had...

Transylvania

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 16:31:00 -0700

Here are few towns we visited in Transylvania during the bike trip. These towns were German, 600 years old, and the views of the country side were absolutely fantastic. The big city we went to was Sighisoara (not shown).

Stephen Weatherford gets married! Wedding took place on Galveston beach. Everything was picture perfect with the setting absolutely beautiful. The only thing that was lacking was the Minister! He finally showed up almost 2 hours later, it all worked out.

While at the reception, I got to see old buddies like Jesus & Jesse. I even found out that Stephen was in a couple of movies, guess I should check those out.

Turkey Part 1 - Cappadochia

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 17:32:00 -0700

The Cappadochia region is a historical wonder where known civilizations lived in 500 B.C. The Christians at one point lived in underground caves that were essentially cities that housed up to 20,000 people! Schools, churches, a place to make wine, and room for livestock were even formed in these cities that were up to 8 levels below the ground!

The landscape is totally unique and was formed from the combination of volcano, wind, rain, & snow. Taking a tour of the Rose Valley allowed us to see the Churches and home that were build inside the mountains. Renting a bicycle allowed me to see the beautiful towns nearby Goreme - where I was staying. They wanted my passport as collateral even though I gave them my name, Eric Melchor. I also had a chance to see some of the traditional Turkish dancing one night. Truly a wonderful adventure and unforgettable place!

Turkey Part 2 - Istanbul

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 17:14:00 -0700

Grand Canyon - Cinco de Mayo in Vegas

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 16 May 2007 18:21:00 -0700

This is all of us before we lost our money on the De la Hoya vs Mayweather fight. Actually Kiko, my grandpa pictured on the far right, won money on the Detroit and Utah game. Paris Hotel - May, 2007.

You gotta check out the Wynn Hotel in Vegas. Above is a spectacular waterfall. We also saw Felix Trinidad roaming the hotel and taking pictures with fans.

If it wasn't for Raluca, I probably would never have visited the Grand Canyon. Once you see it, the view is breathtaking. Absolutely incredible!

Oscar de la Hoya press conference!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 24 Feb 2007 11:46:00 -0800

Scene: Waldorf Astoria, NY - Feb. 2007. Just a few months away from the fight of the decade! Half the fans were for Oscar, the other half for that so-called fighter Mayweather. First boxing press conference I ever attended and I thought it could have been more exciting, but hey, I was having a great time. Here are couple of pics, obviously I am not a good photographer.
