Ahem...
Well, I now have a blog. (Just thought I'd state the obvious). I decided to start a blog because I will be heading off to Bolivia *LORD willing* in a few months for a very long time. Since I think it will be one of the best experiences of my entire life, I thought I'd keep you all up to speed (since it's not likely that I'll see any of you there-though that would be cool).
