I think I had something of interest to write about last week, but I've been having some computer issues and was therefore unable to update with whatever it was. Hmm.

On the plus side, 'laptop troubles' has been a good reason to do a lot of work on the Year Abroad scrapbook I decided to do. I am really not very far in, but it's been a lot of fun. More importantly, I suppose, it's a good way to reflect on my time away and to remember the things I saw and did. It's strange how organizing words and photos can refresh memories and even reorganize them: I feel like the thinking I've done for scrapbook pages has helped to wrap-up the experience. Which is great.



This weekend I drove out to a small town halfway between here and Staunton, to go bowling. It was a tiny little town with many churches and many more ice cream shops. Who would have thought?
