Bill & Karen - July 1999

Must Have Been the Guns
This is a neat essay about the Columbine shootings
Makah Whaling Stuff
Some information and pictures of the Makah's first whale in a generation!
Our Boat
We still haven't named it, but you can see the first pic here!  We were out fishing three of the first four weekends aftre we got it!
Taiwan & Hong Kong
Bill went to Taiwan and Hong Kong for work.   He did technology demonstrations for the CEO and one of the VPs at Intel.   They were presented to the Hong Kong movie industry, the Vice President of Taiwan, and others.  The best part of the trip was after work, when Bill went exploring.   See the pics here!  Make sure you look at BOTH HONG KONG and TAIWAN
Covered Bridges
In case you didn't know (I didn't!), Oregon has a bunch of covered bridges. They were covered to protect the wood that they are made of.  They really are a site to see, if you get the chance.  We went and saw one while we were out and about.  Now you can see it too!
Tulips
We found out about some Tulip fields in Mt Angel, which is about 1/2 an hour away from us.  We went out there to check it out.   It was beautiful!  There were tulips everywhere.  You could find just about any color you were looking for. 
Washington DC Photos
Bill had to go to Washington DC for work, so Karen went along for fun!  We had dinner at the French Embassy, had dinner with the President (and several hundred other people), and saw all of the sites in DC.  There are some good pics here!  Also check out the video clips of the president and the capitol steps
