GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition Test: Monterey, CA

My uncle bought me a GoPro for my birthday, and we went to Monterey yesterday, so here is the video. This is my first video with this camera and which I actually edit, so don't expect a professional video. I had no stabilization of the camera, so it is a bit shaky from holding it up on a rocking boat. Oh, and it's in full HD.

January 3, 2013 @ Santa Teresa

The sunny side of the hills on today's ride were perfect. The dark sides, on the other hand, were hell. Deep, clay-ish mud layered my tires to the point where they could not move. Luckily, the picture below was taken before my bike looked as though it had passed through a gigantic lump of dinosaur crap. The cleaning afterward was horrible, but overall the ride was worth it.

First Day of 2013: Mountain Biking

So, it's a new year. I slept in until 12 in the afternoon, then went for a mountain bike ride. I haven't been riding this bike in a while, and I haven't been posting on the blog at all, so I decided to start doing both. Here is a picture my father took of me from below.

Rila Mountain - Summer 2012


It's a giant anthill. We found it at Borovets, the town at
the base of Rila.


One of the many glacial lakes in Rila.

Fish!

Another glacial lake.

My cousin climbing up the rocky trail.

The meandering trail going through the rocks.

Hey look, snow in July.

The winter trail.

Coming down.

Fishing in Bulgaria: Konska Reservoir

I went fishing yesterday with my cousin and his friends, and we ended up catching a large fish. It ended up becoming tangled in the line and came in quite easily after about a seven minute fight. It was successfully released afterwards. Oh, and there were a lot of frogs.

Gummy Bear Rainbow

I found this rainbow of gummy bears outside the local library. Many are missing, so I guess someone ate them...
