I am still working on several projects, trying to consolidate some things so I can have a life for a little while again. I just came back from Palo Alto, California from a visit to Stanford U. Stanford is BEAUTIFUL, I love college towns, and I think this one has trumped the ones I have visited so far. Unfortunately I left my camera at home ( I know, what kind of straggler am I?) BUT, I did get my sister to snap a few on her cellphone which takes pretty good pics, so I will add them to my album soon. The weather was a nice change from what I am accustomed to during the summer, which is hot, humid days and nights. There it was hot during the day, but dry with a nice breeze (which is nice for the hair and skin) and considerably cool during the evening, since we were in an arid area. I could also breathe!!!! :-D So I enjoyed walking in the pedestrian friendly town, and took in the wide of array of dining and shopping. I look forward to going back when I have a little more free time.
I also recently visited the Delta region of Mississippi to document the flooding and how things have changed since then. I assume in this particular area of the delta I visited that not too many people lost their homes or suffered extreme losses, outside of the crops and agriculture sector, I saw several acres of land still under water or burned from what I assume was to prepare damaged land for new crops. There were several government officials still in the area and some roads were still closed off. It was an enlightening experience, made me appreciate what I do have for sure, and made me thankful that I am exposed to the many opportunities that I have been afforded. Below are a few snaps I took.
In other news, I am headed to Turks and Caicos for the summer (yay!) What a great way to vacation, huh? It is my first time going but I look forward to taking in lots of culture as I plan on exploring the islands in addition to beach combing, one of my favorite past times.
