The End...for now

Soooo...yeah. Kinda trailed off there and then disappeared for a month and a half, didn't I? I have an excuse, I promise!

My last 2 weeks in Guate were beautiful and crazy and filled with dancing and music and ruins and animal sacrifices (well, only one of those, but it was probably the greatest, most wonderous day of my life and so I am counting it as two). And then I was in tears at the airport, crying into a friend's shoulder, and finally at home not knowing how to function in a DC bereft of friends, most of whom were still working for the summer.

So, of course, I did what I always do. I made myself a wicked complicated travel schedule to keep my mind off of my longing for volcanos and mountains and hiking (which included the volcanos and mountains and hiking of Asheville, NC and Bend, OR). And then suddenly I was here - back in DC - navigating the treacherous but much less overwhelming waters of 2L year. Its amazing what a difference knowing that you can actually skim certain parts of your reading makes.

So that is me. I am home; safe, sound, and slightly stressed out - and dreaming of more adventure. Little local ones like an upcoming 3-4 day weekend trip, and big ones like heading back to Central America for part of winter break and hopefully another awesome internship next summer.

Soooo, the name might change, but this blog will be back some day. Like Frosty the Snowman, or the unicorns (yes, they're comin' back, just you wait).

Bye kids! Check out my sister's travels at: http://thegnomad2010.blogspot.com/ She's funny, so you should read it!
