Angeli, Here and There. Thursday, June 30, 2005. Then this morning I woke up with my head where my feet always are. I'm not sure when that happened. I haven't done that since I was a kid. I really wish I could remember what I was dreaming all night! Posted by Angeli @ 10:24 AM. Wednesday, June 29, 2005. Thank you, and new address. I just wanted to say a quick thanks to everyone who has sent me birthday greetings today. It's nice to hear from home! ALSO, my new address:. Posted by Angeli @ 9:01 PM. Tuesda...

Angeli, Here and There. Monday, May 30, 2005. Posted by Angeli @ 2:15 PM. Sunday, May 29, 2005. The water is back on! Two rules of commute I've learned this weekend:. 1 When hopping off of a motorcycle (most common form of taxi here) to the right, one ought to be QUITE careful. I have a lovely burn about the size of a kiwi on my calf. Fortunately, the proper way for a woman to ride (in a fitted skirt, anyway) is on the left side. Posted by Angeli @ 10:37 PM. Friday, May 27, 2005. The water is out. Flying...

Helen's Andean Adventure: September 2005
http://hmarkelova.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 03, 2005. Things I learned while in Bolivia:. 1) tons of Bolivian slang (including some Aymara and Quechua words). 2) what real development is all about (change of beliefs and traditions) and how hard the real development work is. 3) how awesome fruit and vegetables grown without chemicals can taste. 4) that I absolutely love steak. 5) how to tell apart llama, alpaca, and vicuna. 6) that there are Russians in every corner of this planet. 7) how to survive in a fairly cold climate.

Angeli, Here and There. Monday, October 30, 2006. I took a Chinatown bus from DC to NYC, where N and her flatmates generously put us up (Thanks, N!

Angeli, Here and There. Tuesday, November 21, 2006. Finally, the Pyramids. Yes, we did eventually make it to the pyramids, on our second-to-last day in Egypt:. I must say, with the first glance as we were entering the pyramid complex, I felt a little like we were entering an amusement park - some addition to Universal Studios, I suppose. It's not until you're right up against them that you really get a sense of how massive they are. And you're simply struck for a moment. Wow. I'm still not sure what to m...

Angeli, Here and There. Wednesday, November 30, 2005. Maybe a Sports Fan After All? Thanksgiving offered a MUCH needed break. For a few days I actually forgot about how much I still have to do before Christmas break. Posted by Angeli @ 11:10 PM. Tuesday, November 22, 2005. I have just turned in the paper. It may not be a masterpiece, but I have survived it, and it is turned in. Now, to pack, and then a few hours of sleep to add to the 1.5 I got this morning from 8:30-10. It will be so good to be home!
