This past week has been good, but overall uneventful. We had a baby sea lion wander onto campus and hang out for a few days in our sea turtle tank before heading back to sea. She was adorable, and we all hope she's doing well. I spent a LOT of time inside in beautiful weather getting a lot of work done, but I guess that's what I'm getting the academic credit for...
We leave for another camping trip on Tuesday, then get back Saturday in time for the last week of classes! I can't believe the semester has gone by so quickly and have loved being here, but think I may be ready to go on adventures of the New England variety. I wrote a paper on the Maine Woods (which ate my life for a while there and is why I don't have any better stories to tell about last week) and realized how much I love and miss trees, mountains, and New England forests. Well, New England in general. And the AMC.
I love traveling, and it will always be part of my life, but I am and always will be a New England girl at heart. And there's nothing I can or want to do about it.
I also got a new obsession: www.blipfoto.com. It's a website that allows you to post one photo each day that was taken on that day, along with a caption. You can browse the photos posted that day and look at the amazing and interesting shots people put up from all over the world. I missed today, but I'm trying to do it every day and really think about the shots I'm taking and try to use it to push myself to be a better photographer. www.blipfoto.com/emma818. Anyone can join and you don't have to post every day (and you don't have to actually upload the photo on the day it was taken, it just needs to only be one photo per day.) It's a really cool thing, and there's a really great community attached to it. Not Mexico related, but still cool. Especially if you want to see pictures of Mexico but don't have time to look through the ridiculous number on Picasa. [If you join blip or are already on there, subscribe to my journal so I know you're there and I'll subscribe to yours!]
All purpose adventures that involve dolphins, jumping off of dunes, and more: http://picasaweb.google.com/Emma.RachelKanji/TheAllPurposeAlbumOfAdventures#
The baby sea lion that wandered onto campus and made itself at home for a few days last weekend. S/he's since released herself, but it was fun while it lasted!
Amazing sunsets, mostly, from our camping trip to Loreto 2 weeks ago:
More dump photos from an ocean side dump we explored in search of dead turtles. Not quite a treasure hunt... (in the album called "down in the mexican dumps" I couldn't bring myself to make another album of trash.)
Love, hugs, trees, and four seasons!
