I don't think we're in the Arctic anymore, Su Lin.

Plenty of time for a rainy-day pit-stop at the San Diego Zoo for me, after an early childhood disabilties conference.

In the states I enjoyed sushi thanks to the ever-accomodating V and L, sushi again, hamburgers, sand between my toes, a nice sunburn, movie theaters, pool-swimming, public transportation and lots of salads. After a week outside, I couldn't wait to get back to the village. Frontier and Warbelows teamed up to help me pack in 150 pounds of supplies.
