1999

2000

My sister Yifaat visited in July 2000. You can see pictures from the Mammoth caves, from "Land Between the Lakes" in Kentucky (lakes or flowers), St. Louis, and Chicago (skyscrapers or other things). Finally, assorted pictures from her stay can be seen here.
Pictures from a barbecue that Jong arranged.
I had a short vacation in Boston (July 2000).
During the summer, I used my new camera to take pictures of lots of people . various structures at the university, and its natural side as well (summer 2000).
During the fall semester, I had many opportunities to take pictures. Take a look at some interesting scenes of college life, people, the Allerton conference, the university, and places outside the campus (fall 2000).
My one-day excursion in Brussels (December 2000).
My vacation in Israel. I saw people, lots of flowers, and we went to some tourist attractions (December 2000).

2001

The winter was cold and leafless, a stark contrast to my vacation. Around February, the snow melted, and then, all of a sudden, spring began (December 2000-March 2001).
Nearing the end of the semester, I paid a visit to Opher and Iris in Boston We also managed to spend an afternoon in New Hampshire (April 2001).
I had to see the floods of the Mississippi river (May 2001).
I drove to the ISIT conference in Washington, DC, for enhanced scenery. You can see pictures of West Virginia, Virginia, the attractions of Washington itself, some miscellaneous DC shots, and the battlefielf of Gettysburg.
On the fourth of July, I went with Suraj to Wisconsin and Chicago (July 2001).
In late July, our family went on a three week vacation. We left Illinois, drove northwest through Wisconsin and Minnesota, visited South Dakota, continued to the black hills region, and visited Wyoming (Yellowstone and Grand Teton parks). After a brief stay in Idaho (Craters of the Moon monument), we drove through Utah to Nevada, where we visited Las Vegas and the Hoover Dam. We returned to Utah (Zion National park), drove south to Arizona (Grand Canyon) and returned to Utah, where we visited Bryce, Capitol Reef, Arches, and Canyonlands National Parks, and much more! On our way home, we drove through a nice mountain pass in Colorado (July-August 2001).

2002

My mother was on sabbatical at the University of Pennsylvania up to February 2002. As a consequence, we were in New York twice.
I also took several pictures during the winter.
During the spring and summer months, I talked my office-mate Ashvin and his room-mate Prasad into joining me for a series of excursions. This habit of ours eventually became known as "the weekly road-trip". Destinations included Starved Rock state park (IL), Turkey Run state park (IN), the Wisconsin Dells, Wyandotte caves (IN), and random minor excursions in central Illinois.
In August, my parents and I went on a two week excursion around the Great Lakes. We mainly visited Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan.
In November, I traveled to California, where I saw friends, toured a bit, and gave a talk at Berkeley.

2003

The winter was too busy. I defended my Ph.D., deposited the dissertation, traveled to a conference in Baltimore, interviewed at an amusing university, and submitted two paper revisions and two new journal papers. Overall, lack of sleep was the main theme. A few pictures can be seen here.
The first interesting activity during the spring was a road-trip that Armin and I took down south. Unfortunately, it is impossible to reconstruct the many philosophical discussions, fabulous meals, the humming of Pilot Armin's propellors, and immitations of certain southern gentlemen :) However, there are some pictures, and I attempt to reconstruct some of the folklore on that webpage!
In late May, I went to California for several days. My visit to Yosemite was spectacular!
Some Illinois pictures (including several interesting individuals) appear here.
