Richard Aldama:  

Life Went to ARC and CSUS directly from HS. Met wife Deborah through mutual friend and got married in 1976. Spent a 5-week honeymoon backpacking in Europe and went to Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, and France. Have 2 kids and 4 grandchildren. My son lived in Spain for 2 yrs and my wife, daughter, and I spent a month there prior to bringing him home in Sept 2001. While there, we were also able to travel to Andorra in the Pyrenees and spend a little time in a village on the French side of the mountains. We have travelled extensively in the western states, Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and Mexico. In Feb '04, my wife and I spent 8 days in Costa Rica. In February 2010 we enjoyed a weeklong stay in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico -- a very beautiful city! My wife and I spent most of the month of September 2010 in South America visiting Peru, Argentina, and Chile! We had a great time enjoying the Incan ruins, Machu Picchu, the Iguazu Falls, Cuzco, Arequipa, the Colca Canyon, Santiago, and Buenos Aires. In October 2012, we made it back to Greece, Italy, France, and Spain. We also made it to Turkey and found it to be rich with culture and history. In May 2014, we went to Portugal and Spain. My goal was to visit the Andalusia area of Spain, but we also included Lisbon and Sintra in Portugal, and a few more cities in Spain outside of the Andalusia area. In the fall of 2014, we went back east to enjoy the season's colors. We spent time in Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire. Our most recent international travel in August 2018 was to northern Spain and Portugal. We spent a few days in Bilbao and the surrounding area during their annual Aste Nagusia festiva...Expand for more
