- don't bring 'gifts'...you're not expected to as a Virgin and a lot of stuff is considered trash. Give the gift of picking up MOOP, spending time chatting with people, sharing a beer/meal/snack/etc.

- realize that you're going to get separated from your friends, have trouble finding people, get distracted going from one place to another and that your plans will change on a dime. Don't get hung up on this...just go with the flow. We ...

... Then we went to goodwill, and that's where the magic happened. Within 2 minutes I had spotted the most beautiful highlighter-yellow and hot pink high top Reebok sneakers I had ever seen, well the only ones I had ever seen, but regardless they are amazing, and only $15, and you are all jealous.   Everyone else got some good finds too.     It was already 2:30 and time to pick up THE BOYS. We dropped off Sophie and Jen to walk home, because Charlie wanted me to meet his ...

... I don't have a good scale, but my best guess is that I'm up around 55 pounds, whereas I am trying to be under 35 when I hit the trail. I put two tents in it. And two extra full Nalgene containers. And a big bag of loose change I've been hoarding for a couple years now. That sucker is heavy. Earlier in the winter, I was doing some running - running one lap (3.1 miles) around Lake Merritt, which is half a block from my house. It ...

... yesterday in Napa Valley wine tasting and tonight will be going to a friend's house in the Castro neighborhood of SF for a party to see in 2007. Today we walked around the Haight and found a henna, tattoo and piercing parlor. I got a henna on my hand to remind me of my time in India and re-pierced my ears so I could wear some of the jewelry I bought on my trip

So basically we (me and Brianne) got into San Francisco on Tuesday afternoon. Since then we went to Alcatraz (super cool), saw Fisherman's Wharf (so touristy) and have accepted that San Francisco's public transportation is always late. Also, we saw ...

Hey Guys! Here we are, having a fab time in San Francisco. Flight over was fine although lots of turbulence over the Rockies which was v exciting. Weather here in SF is amazing, v warm and dry but a spectacular electrical storm last night. It is great here, everyone is so friendly, we've hooked up with Alan, a friend of Hannahs who's hanging out with us for a bit which is cool. We still have no real plans and are ...

... with Alec, Madelaine, and Richard. Alec and I made pierogi (they were very good), we went to the movies, took walks, played darts, and basically had a great time. It was really difficult to leave especially since I didn’t really know what my job would be like when I got back here. Now that I’m back I’m happy to be here, but I really miss everyone at home terribly right now, and the simple idea of “home” is on my mind a lot. I came back to Kyiv and found ...
