I uploaded more photos from Kauai early this morning. I just realized that they weren’t showing up. I’m not sure why the site hasn’t refreshed, but I cleared out the Flickr plug-in cache and voila.

I just added a new feed for all of the “Asidesâ€? that I post, since they aren’t included in the normal RSS feed. I’ll find someplace to put up a permanent link, but for now here’s a link to the asides feed.

In case you don’t know what “asidesâ€? are, they are usually just quick one line entries that don’t really rate an entire blog entry. When viewing the website, they are grouped into three’s and shown in the bubbles between posts.

I started my intermediate spanish class at Berlitz last night. Berlitz offers a bunch of different kinds of instruction, but the type I’m taking right now is full immersion group instruction. The classes are generally very small (this class has 4 students) and you go twice a week for 6 weeks. Each class is 90 minutes long.

Our original plan was for all three students from the beginning spanish class to take the next class together utilizing the same teacher, but it didn’t work out that way. Only two of us from the beginning class went through with it, and our teacher no longer works there either.

The new teacher is much more experienced then the last one, so I think I’m going to get much more out of this class. It’s pretty weird when I realize that I’m actually learning another language. You’d think that I would have learned something before now, my wife being Mexican and all. Anyway, I walked out of class last night feeling very positive. I have a feeling that I’ll get a lot more out of this intermediate class then I did the beginner’s class.

I just uploaded a set of photos of Waimea Canyon, from our recent trip to Kauai. We drove up to Waimea Canyon on our first full day on the island and did some sightseeing and hiking. Even though they’re good, I really don’t think that these photos do the beauty of the canyon justice. You really have to experience it first hand.

I have another batch of photos ready to go too, but searching by tags in Flickr is disabled right now (at least within the Organizer), so it would make it difficult to sort the photo into albums. I’ll upload them tomorrow as long as they get the search problem taken fixed.
