So this morning I was woken up at 6:30 by loud voices coming from the street below my window. I stumbled downstairs and found a pot of coffee already brewed (thanks!!) and went outside for my morning coffee and cigarette. I saw the women who were making all the noise across the street at the bus stop. I didn't want to assume that they were pros...

Madison arrived today, flying by herself on Air Tran from Portland, Maine. I have never dealt with an unaccompanied minor before. It's actually hard to say! But her plane arrived early and she was not flustered a bit getting off the plane at BWI. I was very impressed. We gathered her bag and then made our way back to the car. I have not parked i...

Well, after feeling like **** all night (although I never did hurl thankfully), I couldn't get up in the morning. I told everyone to go on without me and hopefully I could catch up with them later. I slept off and on all morning, ate some pineapple that DH had brought back from their breakfast, and called DH to let him know I was back in the swi...

i'm getting incredibly nervous as departure time rapidly approaches. i have all of these random axieties like: my family will get annoyed with my spanish skills or lack thereof; i'll have trouble making spanish friends; i'll get frustrated when i can't comment on a conversation because i can't formulate the words, etc. i'm also extremly excited ...

Now I had to say goodbye to Chicago, practically becoming my favorite city in the US, and fly to DC. I will stay a friend, Rich for the next 2 weeks. However, his messy apartment (located in not-very-safe neighborhood) is definitely not the best place to stay. So again, I really hope I can return home soon... :(

Drive into Washington. Go round 'n circles looking for a parking spot. Finally find one. Spend the day walking around. Another scorcher of a day. Get tired of walking and no Politicians nor Government worker in sight. Head back to the campground and go for a swim. Alexis went for a swim and I sent my email log. It was time to do chores. Alexis d...

It is 2:15 AM. I can't sleep. I am definitely excited, but moreover, I actually need to PACK! I have been taking my time today, cleaning up my room, finding things I haven't seen in a while and getting distracted...(yea yea nothing new, haha) Anyway, I am going to head to the airport at 4:30 AM. For those who still don't know what I am doing in ...

(Amsterdam > Los Angeles, Sunday, April 22, 2007)-I was chilling in Amsterdam, fully enjoying my last few days in civilization for heading to the other side of the world, when I got a message that my dear friend Steven ben Israel and his son Baba Israel would be in town this week for a couple of performances here and a show at the Rotown in R...

Two very long days later, finally I came back to DC. But it arrived at National Airpot so late (after 11pm), I had to hail a taxi and that added another $15 to my bills. This delay, mainly due to the incapability of US Airway, alone cost me almsot $400 (most are the inflated hotel fee in San Juan). And worse, it probably cost me a potential job ...

Today I went sightseeing in what they called here a 'trolley'. Not a shopping trolley but a tram like vehicle... Saw a lot of interesting stuff but do not want to bore you all with photos so I have selected best five to show you (that is the max no of photos per entry - phew!)
