Its been much too long if i'm uploading photos from there, but I had to highlight strange summertime fog phenomenons.

and you should expect many more photos from farther away places to come!

This is some Dr. Suess kind of business

cottage life

For those of you who did not get the chance to visit this last term here are some tid bits of cottage #2. Before this I lived in a tinnie tiny dorm room with walls that did not reach the ceiling. In other words, I lived in a cubicle with 16 other people's cubicles. That's another story for another day...
