Here is the cathedral in daylight. There are one or two cactii in Mexico. Jacalyn is adorable but more to the point is that this seemed very European! This balcony was big enough for us and our tiny table, and the street was all narrow and tall. We waved to the tour busses and felt dorky. View from the other direction. Note the cathedral in the back. It's the last (Zacatecas) cathedral shot, I

Well, gosh, if I'd known I was going to get lambasted...! ;-) I am rewinding to put up some pictures from weekend trips. In mid-March we went to Zacatecas (Jacalyn and I, and we hung out with Alex who happened to be there too). Zacatecas was a colonial city and mining town, and today is beautiful and awesome and I loved it. Additionally, I should invest in a thesaurus. At any rate, it was

I have spent time abroad before. I say I’ve lived abroad, because I spent 3 months in Costa Rica, and I was more or less in one place working. Even in Guatemala, I was there only a month but it was a stable situation. Both of those experiences though were tinted with “travel.” It would be a lie, of course, to say that my experience in Mexico hasn’t been travel as well. That said, this is my

Coconuts for sale. the price was totally inflated to two whole dollars because it was a tourist area. But you can drink the water and eat the inside, not to mention watch the guy go to town with a machete, so I guess it was worth it.

Welcome to Mexico!!I am here!! And so is this guy. This is Miguel Hidalgo, and he is considered the liberator of Mexico. This mural is enormous and located at the Palacio del Gobierno (I think) in Guadalajara. It was painted by Jose Clemente Orozco, who I had heard of, but I had no idea. this is about 1/4 of the whole thing, which takes up the whole ceiling and walls of this huge stairwell. It's

Dude it snowed so much! It came up to my knees, but it doesn't show right in this picture because the dogs had already cleared a path.It snowed for 2 days straight. It was (and is still) so pretty! It's not as much as a big deal here in the mountains because we're used to it, but the plains really got hit harder than usual. 5,000 people were stranded at the airport in Denver, but it sounds like

July through December: classes, books, studying, lack of sleep, and crying over exams... Friday, 9am: we took our last exam! Friday, 11pm: We were done! Josh was so excited he couldn't focus. We hung out in December in the 80-degree heat on the deck and took pictures... ...and Brendan hucked peanuts. Friday, 2:30pm: As far as I can tell, everyone went home and napped.

Well, once upon a time I located a picture of a zombie for blogging purposes. I'm pretty sure it was because something was eating my brain. I can't be totally sure though because I have no recollection of what I was supposed to talk about. But it's still a pretty cool picture so there ya go.

Never have I consumed so much coffee. I didn't become a coffee drinker until after college, so I missed many opportunities there. I learned to like it in Costa Rica, as I knew I would have to, and it became a relaxing, comforting afternoon drink. When it's chilly and maybe a little rainy it's so nice to sit by a window (or in milder climates, outside) with a warm coffee. Now and then I smell a

To say that school keeps us busy is an understatement. Somehow we manage to keep cramming more things in, though. First, of course, came classes, as well as career management. Then many of us started work study. Career management commitment waxes and wanes, but now we are in full-blown internship search mode. Add to that efforts to maintain sanity, and you can accomplish everything you need

Few things are as satisfying as an awesome weekend.Friday afternoon kicked off the weekend with great mail. I got a hilarious letter from a friend in Oregon (which is really really far away when I think about it!) and a card from my family. All of my family had gotten together a few weeks ago and it was sad that I wasn't there! But they all signed a card and my nephews drew me pictures (one was a

General amusement from trivia night, where we go every Sunday and clean up thanks to Scott and Darrah. Except I knew the name of the dog in the first Iditarod (Balto). This week we packed the bar with about 1/4 the people in our program. Very sexy pictures below.

See below for (slightly) more about the nat'l park. There was a deck over this oxbow lake and there were tons of turtles there! and you looked around and there were more coming! I was talking with some other people on the deck and we decided that they hear vibrations (or something) and people have fed them in the past and so they come beg for food. Begging turtles. That would be cool (and

There are lizards all over the place here! They are awesome. I saw this guy (there was a brown one eating a cricket jsut out of the frame) at the Congaree Swamp National Park (the newest nat'l park in the east). I went there on a Sunday by myself just to check it out and get out of the "city" for a while. Self portrait at Congaree Swamp. Yeah, that's a spider bite on my face. I kept walking

Standing on my balcony, here is the view. Here is the other view from my balcony. there's an interstate right there but it's not bad at all. For some reason the sun almost always turns into a red ball during sunrise and sunset.

A few pictures I took of Colorado's awesomeness before leaving.Rocky Mountain National Park. It's hard to see in this size but my camera does this awesome panoramic-type function and this is really a cool shot.Mt. Meeker. I wanted to type "Mount Meeker" but something about that seemed so wrong.A shot of the front range (Boulder and whatnot) from Royal Arch. If you live in the area, do that hike!
