black shih tzu

I've never seen a black shih tzu till I saw Chiko, Faraz's dog. She's really cute and quite a character, her temperament is the opposite of Momo. According to Faraz's mom, she was the only black pup in the litter and they didn't expect that she would remain black.
And here's a photo of us at the beach. The poor dog was getting bullied by the bigger dogs during our little outing.

I have promised Amelia to post some photos of Mom and Dad's new kitchen. Sorry that it took so long and really it is a very nice kitchen!

Hiking in the hinterland

We went hiking with Josceline and Sanjeev on the last day of 2006 to the hinterlands. We went first to a place got Jowarra but the walking took less than 20min, so we decided to go to nearby hiking trail which had a small waterfall. This was along a much longer trail of at least 6 hours I think. Maybe next time we can attempt the trail or at least part of it. Here are some photos of Faraz in his elements, the four of us, and a tree hugging competition between the guys and the gals.
