Today we went whale watching (although I still think it would be fun to go kayaking with the whales!). It was a little bumpy, but fun.

We decided to eat sushi instead of going to the Oscars--this time.

This morning we put on our best California accents and went to hang out with a group at Santa Monica Beach. Then we had a "barbeque" (cookout).

Lady: It's great to have you in this group, always smiling and being so kind.

Me: It's just because I'm from the South.

The sky is blue,
Roses are red,
The streets are black,
But not the streets in heaven.

  • More Christians worship in Anglican churches in Nigeria each week than in all the Episcopal and Anglican churches of Britain, Europe, and North America combined.
  • There are more Baptists in Congo than in Britain.
  • There are more people in church every Sunday in China than in all of Western Europe.

You know you've flown too much when you start to remember the meals:

Flight attendant: Chicken or pasta?

Me: Is it the pasta with the nasty green stuff in it?

Flight attendant: Yes.

Me: Chicken.

My Sunday afternoon hike this week was a little different from normal. Today we decided to walk all the way into the center of town.

We walked...

Finally we came to the heart of the city:

We decided to take the metro and the bus back home. :)

I've recently started getting some Google hits on my site. Apparently, people have found my blog by searching for these terms:
  • how to live in the middle of nowhere
  • Chinese chicken feet
  • Prague
Hmm...
