Siesta Time

Sunday, May 20th, 2007

Well, here I am safely in Merida in the Yucatan state of Mexico. Funny considering a month and a half ago I could not have found it on a map. At this point, I´ve thoroughly read the Merida ... [Continue reading this entry]

Edinburgh: All Wet

Monday, January 1st, 2007
Some of you may have seen on the news that Edinburgh's street party was cancelled last night. All told since I'd been before, this wasn't crushing news for me. It was still a unique event in my life. ... [Continue reading this entry]

Another Day in Virginia

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006
Wow, it's quiet tonight; I mean needle-hit-the-floor-and-echoes quiet. I didn't realize the level of noise here until tonight. You see, the same day I arrived here, a bus load of high school students descended as well. Every room around me ... [Continue reading this entry]
