Suburban Extended Stay Of Austin South

Five weeks, 8 major cities, four continents, 4 radio stations, 8 food markets, 6 tribal or fishing villlages, WMDB actually walked past 19 bookstores in A-dam, 20+ musuems, pickled herring sandwiches, chocolate waffles, pancakes to DIE for, trams, Red Light District, the lights and sights and fashionable footwear of Paris, swarms of hunger immigrants selling everything from super-glue to TP on the streets, cattle stampedes, and the second worst roads I have ever encountered.
HOME!

18 days.
432 hours.
25,920 minutes.
1,555,200 seconds.

Not enough. Never enough. This is all the time I have left. 18 days until I get very quickly and very abruptly brought up to speed regarding my decisions. 18 days until I have nothing. In 18 days I will knowingly and deliberately give up a life of complete enjoyment, comfort, safety and love ...

For What It's Worth...

...I will miss everyone here very very much.

I want to wish everyone a happy thanksgiving.
I had a great thanksgiving week. I want to thank some of you who have already donated. Thank You.

My grandparents came and brought me money from some of my sponsors. I had to make sure I sent out thank you e-mails. My dad had to send in more money to People to People so I could get a confirmed spot in the program.

I will have soap for sale soon, and details of my other fundraisers.

... floors of every book imaginable, lots of wide open aisles and comfy chairs, a coffee counter (of course), and very friendly staff. I now have the best t-shirt in my collection: "Go to hell.

South Congress, or SoCo, is a fun mix of shops, clubs and restaurants, as well as ...

... the hike we went back to Mere's and changed and sat outside and had a few beers. When Andy got home we headed to 6th St to Opal Divine's. If you ever want to sit outside on a really nice day in downtown Austin, Opal's is the spot. We ate and drank and Forrest and his girlfriend Kathy met us and later so did some of my b-school friends.
