Tzou Photography: Christina's Summer 2010 Norcal Visit

Well, Christina's time here in sunny California hasn't ended quite yet, but I thought i'd like to share some of the activities we've done so far. Unfortunately the photos are all out of order and actually progress from most to least recent, beginning with a fly fishing event.

This past weekend, Christina joined a few Dartmouth Alumni, including myself, at a Dartmouth Alumni Association of Silicon Valley's fly fishing event.

I had no idea how hard this sport was. I just thought you threw the line out and waited for a fish to bite. I couldn't have been more wrong. I had no idea there was SO much finesse involved with casting, and that almost now arm power was required to cast my line quite a distance.

The day before our fly fishing extravaganza, Christina and I went out for an afternoon of tennis, which ended up being a blast. Despite Christina have loads of fun smashing balls into the courts next to us forcing me to run and pick them up, I had a blast trying to capture my sweetie playing the sport I had grown up around and that ultimately changed me as a person.

The week before the previous two events are a jumble of various activities. I will let the photos do more of the talking now as I am becoming quite drowsy and cam't seen to writ....
