I'm a Bad Kid for not posting, but I am safe in Berkeley

Time really flies when you're having fun, getting sick, having the car broken into, visiting family, and driving home.

Sorry for the lack of posts. We really enjoyed Chiapas and the Mayan ruins of Palenque, but didn't have internet to post. Then it was down hill with an eye infection for me, and someone breaking into the van in Puebla. Whoever did it, knew what they were doing, and did a job on par with the sophisticated car-break-inners of the Bay Area: jammed the lock, grabbed the stereo and any bags and were out of there, in broad day light.

It was a big bummer, and after that we just wanted to head home. So we hauled it back to Texas. Once there time was spent resting and with the family, and the blog got pushed back because I spent all my time playing with Mom's new kittens and being reunited with Louie. Then after visiting my family in Oklahoma, Louie and I made the trip back to Berkeley.

Dave spent about a week in Texas, then went to Joshua Tree and is now in Tahoe.

Louie and I arrived here Thursday night and are currently enjoying Liza's hospitality. Now I'm going to start in on rejoining society by finding a place to live and a job, and keeping my car clean...

I'm also going to update the blog with a post about Palenque (it was awesome), some pictures from Texas, and a photo slideshow of highlights from the trip.

Thanks for reading, and more importantly, thank you to everyone who emailed or posted comments of support and concern. I can never doubt that I am blessed to be surrounded by wonderful people.
