Providence, USA - 2009

Spent couple of days in Providence, RI. We visited one of the grandest summer "cottages" in Newport, RI during our trip. Sharing my memories of this grandness -

Los Angeles, USA - 2008

I have been dreaming about Disneyland since my childhood days. So when I had a chance to visit Los Angeles, the thought of going to Disneyland really excited me. It was a three day trip (was definitely not enough to cover all the places - it was a bit rushed!). We visited Sea World, Disneyland and Universal Studios. Memories -

Vancouver BC, Canada - 2008

Visiting Vancouver was one the first international trip after coming to the United States. There is one reason why I like Vancouver the most when compared to any other city :) Saravana Bhavan! (which is closed now BTW). Pictures -
