belated update....

so...for the 2 loyal readers i have...this is going to be short, but i'll be posting pics soon...

did the kenya, el salvador, guatemala, bangkok trips...all in all, productive and good, but got really burnt out toward the end, so i feel like i didn't fully enjoy the bangkok trip...which is sad because i was really looking forward to finally returning to southeast asia. but, it was still fun, the meeting was really interesting, the food was good, and i did get a few massages in. all in all, a good trip, i'd say.

kenya and el salvador were quick trips, so though it was good to see friends and hang out a little, it was a lot of work (yes, i do work on these trips). in guatemala, i was working all day into the evenings, which is where i got burnt out. i did manage to get out of the city the weekend that i was there...went to antigua, which was really nice, and hiked pacaya, an active volcano not too far from the city. will posts pics soon...

so now i'm back in atlanta, and am spending the next few weeks (until the end of april!!) working on some papers and finishing up a few projects that have been languishing. i'm really looking forward to spending spring in atlanta...2-3 weeks of nice weather before it gets really hot and humid!
