Los Angeles

Well, I am in LA. I don't really like it here, although I am constantly laughing at everyone's ridiculous outfits and cars... There are so many designer babies too. I have to hang here until after this weekend because I am taking my TEFL (teaching English as a foreign language) certification class then. It's okay though because Nick is here and we're going to hang out a lot. Otherwise I would go crazy. My plan as of this afternoon is to fly to Merida in the Yucatan next week, hurricanes permitting. Then I will visit some important sights there and hopeful snorkel or scuba dive. After that I head to Puebla to meet up with my friend Memo. From there, we'll see...

First

I just wanted to make a first entry to get this blog off the ground. I am sitting in my Katie cave at Don and Patrick's, just thinking a little about how much I have been enjoying all the time I have been spending with my family and friends. It makes me really happy to have so many awesome people in my life. It will be really hard sometimes to not be able to see them. BUT, I still think this is exactly what I want to do. And I am really hoping a few of you guys will turn up during my travels. I am so amazed at how much positive reaction and support I have gotten regarding this adventure. Thanks! I probably would have done it anyway, but I feel really good going with blessings.

Lastly, Jujubes are not a very fun candy to eat. My teeth feel gross.
