A group of Couchsurfers got together to attend the weekly traditional Egyptian Sufi performance at the Mausoleum of Al-Ghouri in Islamic Cairo. Each Wednesday evening at 8:30PM the Mausoleum of Al-Ghouri puts on a FREE Sufi show that will blow your mind! Make sure you get there early because it fills up fast. It is FREE and all!

The show lasted about 1.5 hours and we had an absolute blast! Thanks to our friend Shady Khdir for bringing us to this great event!

My good friend Eddie surprised me when I got back from Europe by throwing “Pause The Moment” on his car that was running in the 2008 Marshfield Fair – Demolition Derby. How cool is that!? I mean really… how many of you out there have had your website/domain name plastered on the front and back of a Demolition Derby car?

Thanks Ed!

A place that most people never get to see while visiting Sin City. Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is a 45 min drive West of Las Vegas, NV. If you’re feeling adventurous and you’re sick of walking the strip, take a day trip out to Red Rock. I GUARANTEE that you’ll have a blast.

If you’re not into hiking, biking or rock climbing, that’s okay! Red Rock has a 13-mile scenic loop [map] that you can spend some time driving around. There are many pull off parking lots along the way, so if you see a particular area that you’d like to get out and see for yourself, you can do so.

I highly recommend scoping out some hikes before you make the trek out to Red Rock. Definitely plan ahead and don’t forget to bring lots of water!

Check out the view!

After hiking in the sun for about an hour or so, I needed some shade!

Look how RED this rock is? I love it.

What a rewarding end to our hike at Red Rock! You could see for miles…

One of my favorite photos from the hike… Amazing!

In summer of 2009 we were fortunate enough to host my family from Ireland at our home. We took them into Boston for the day and here is a pictorial from our adventure in town.
