I’ve thrown up an album quickly to share. It’s a collection of critter pics which makes me smile like an idiot every time I look at it. I crafted it with this trip in mind, and thought it would be nice to pass around the good vibes. These animals are so cute it makes me … Continue reading
I have a cough and a sneeze already. Oh dear. I first felt sick when waking up on the plane–I was thirstier than I’ve been in a long while, even after exercise–and it wasn’t until late this afternoon, scoping out the city, that I realized I had a cold. Oops. Right now I’m back in … Continue reading

It’s been a steady, light rain ever since I touched down, which is several hours ago now.
