Mark’s Retirement Party
Mark organized a party to celebrate his retirement from FileMaker/Claris, gathering together old and new coworkers at K1 Speed in Santa Clara for some electric go kart racing. The go kart racing was fun but it was really great to see everybody again!
I rented their provided cameras for the first two of our three runs. The first run wasn’t captured (they didn’t start it properly) but here’s our second run:
Nacho & Adriana’s Fiesta en España
As a follow-up to their “Not-A-Wedding” in Costa Rica last August, Nacho and Adriana hosted another party in late April – this time in Palencia, Spain so that more friends and family could join in the celebration. Darlene and I were able to join and we made an extended trip out of it with a coastal hiking trip in Portugal and a multi-city tour through Spain before joining everyone in Palencia.
Nacho & Adriana’s Not-A-Wedding
Darlene and I were able to join Nacho and Adriana in Costa Rica, near the town of Grecia, to celebrate their “not-a-wedding” with their friends and families.
