Megan's Third Junior Year Abroad: Shuffling off the coils
http://uiscebatha.blogspot.com/2012/08/shuffling-off-coils.html
Megan's Third Junior Year Abroad. There might be a few more cracks than usual in this one. Sunday, August 19, 2012. Shuffling off the coils. I'm getting ready for moving day. It sounds needlessly morbid, but all of this giving away business is quite reminiscent of a preparation for death. You know- the plotting, misguided suicidals who show their cards by giving stuff away to those who might want inert objects more than they want to have you around? My porcelain swan that's got a music box in its base?

Megan's Third Junior Year Abroad: Un Peuple, Un But, Trois Fois
http://uiscebatha.blogspot.com/2012/08/un-peuple-un-but-trois-fois.html
Megan's Third Junior Year Abroad. There might be a few more cracks than usual in this one. Thursday, August 23, 2012. Un Peuple, Un But, Trois Fois. We're taking a little pause. But I'm not here to do a blog entry about the moving process. That subject will surely follow this one; at the moment I'm eyeballing a tower of boxes at my left, and at my right I'm looking at my window view of a dark front of storm clouds slowly creeping towards Point E. Q" (forgive me for any indiscretions I have done to you ov...

Megan's Third Junior Year Abroad: Moving Day
http://uiscebatha.blogspot.com/2012/08/moving-day.html
Megan's Third Junior Year Abroad. There might be a few more cracks than usual in this one. Sunday, August 26, 2012. Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify, simplify! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb-nail. Thoreau (and definitely not Megan). I can scarcely believe it to be true, but it would appear that Days of Our Senegalese Lives is coming to an end. Today we're her...

Megan's Third Junior Year Abroad: The Innocents Abroad: Doing Without
http://uiscebatha.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-innocents-abroad-doing-without.html
Megan's Third Junior Year Abroad. There might be a few more cracks than usual in this one. Friday, August 10, 2012. The Innocents Abroad: Doing Without. It's going to be impossible for me to tackle this subject without inciting a few accusations of hypocrisy, but I'm going to do my best and write it anyway. Doing without. These are the two words that I hesitate to use. What exactly does that mean, anyway? Going without in West Africa? I mean, my beautiful modern apartment boasts American-procured items l...

Megan's Third Junior Year Abroad: Sewing Tradition
http://uiscebatha.blogspot.com/2012/08/sewing-tradition.html
Megan's Third Junior Year Abroad. There might be a few more cracks than usual in this one. Wednesday, August 29, 2012. Some things never go out of style. Not too many days left here in Dakar, and while the weather alternates between le soleil ça tappe. The sun is beating down) and mon dieu. This rain is no joke. I have sought calming activities spent indoors with good friends. She's got a full studio at home, but this is where she does alterations on the fly. Listen: Marie is a really talented tailor....

Megan's Third Junior Year Abroad: The Innocents Abroad: Street Food
http://uiscebatha.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-innocents-abroad-street-food.html
Megan's Third Junior Year Abroad. There might be a few more cracks than usual in this one. Wednesday, August 1, 2012. The Innocents Abroad: Street Food. What I am about to say may be considered a bit scandalous to anyone who is a real.Senegophile? Is that even a word? Hell, my once grammatically-sharp brain is now so complètement mélangé. With French vocab that I will never again be able to say things in English with complete confidence that they are correct. But I digress! There I said it. What I will s...

The Berck Family Adventures. An American Family Doing Their Best to Survive in Rio de Janeiro Brazil. Thursday, October 27, 2011. Adventure in the Amazon Part I. We finally managed to make our first trip since Jacob was born. We hadn’t left Rio since March and we were all feeling the need to get out of Rio. Instead of taking an easy trip we traveled four hours by airplane to Manaus-the gateway to the Amazon. Jacob's First Plane Ride. View of Amazon from the airplane. Cooling off in the wave-pool. When we...

The Berck Family Adventures. An American Family Doing Their Best to Survive in Rio de Janeiro Brazil. Thursday, August 11, 2011. Construction or Something Like It. I know there have been a lot of baby posts lately so I decided to mix things up a bit with a "Things You Only See in Brazil" photo. All I can say is that I am glad we are renting! Posted by The Bercks. Thursday, August 4, 2011. As you can imagine since Jacob has been born we've had a lot of firsts. Here are a few photos of some of them. Tim's ...

The Berck Family Adventures: January 2011
http://berckfamilyadventures.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
The Berck Family Adventures. An American Family Doing Their Best to Survive in Rio de Janeiro Brazil. Friday, January 21, 2011. The last stop on our Argentina Extravaganza was Buenos Aires. We had heard great things and could not wait to visit. Thanks to the Baerman’s for letting us crash with them (Olmsted scholars in BA) and for giving us the inside scoop on what to do with our time there. On Sundays there is a HUGE market that spans for blocks and blocks. There you can get any souvenir you can pos...
