A Reason for Existence

So I decided to start a blog. It's not something I ever really thought I'd do. This blog exists to recount my experiences, most immediately during the summer of 2007. I intend it to be a place to jot down interesting observations and ancedotes and post some pictures for whomever might have enough time on their hands to read it. Additionally, while abroad, I think it could be a nice way for Mom and Dad to check in and see that I'm doing alright when I haven't called or emailed in a while. Dear reader, feel free to peruse this blog when you are bored, or maybe just procrastinating. Or maybe you'll read this post and never peruse again. I shall post again when events warrant. Thank you.
