Yes, it's Sunday already. The last week has flown by! Only 5 more days of work and I'm free! Cool.

Yesterday was pretty unexciting. Went to REI and spent a bunch of money on anti-mosquito crap (seems most of the countries I am going to have round-the-clock mosquito patrols out to further the causes of Malaria and Dengue [sp?] fever). Then I read a book. Yup, the whole thing. Book called "Queer" by William Burroughs. Pretty good. I'm getting more and more into the 'beat' genre. Kerouac to Burroughs back to Kerouac (started "Desolation Angels' this morning).

Today it's already hot (90s high today). Sweating thru my 3rd cup of hot coffee, reading, now emailing/blogging. Back to REI for more. It's not real easy to pack for a year trip, especially when it'll all be on my back and the temp will range from real hot to real cold. They do have clothing in other countries so backups will be available.

2 pairs of skivvies enough? Oughta work for me. Gonna wash clothes more than ever before in new and different ways.

Fun times.

Where have all the rhododendrons gone?
