It was a light travel year for me. I spent most of my time at home in California.  Heading west to Taiwan and China in the spring, I visited family and reconnected with classmates I met as a teenager. Later in the year, I flew half way around the world for work in Pune, India and also had a short visit to Mumbai.  From there, I traveled west to Paris, and though I was very busy with work while there, I was able to reconnect with a former colleague and see a few sights after business hours ended.  Back at home, I joined a group of hikers and started to explore many of the nearby parks. A hike is always a great way to wind down a hectic week. This year’s calendar is a spin around the globe, including previously unreleased ones, with scenes from 4 very different cultures that have 4 very different histories - each with tremendous influence on the world today.
