I’m back in Palo Alto after a nice surprise of being upgraded to business class on my flight home. Definitely the way to go on the long flights... too bad I have a negative cash flow and will probably have to wait quite a while before that happens again.
Anyway, so I’m at the car wash this afternoon, waiting outside (e.g. falling asleep outside) while the car wash people do there thing. It was probably about 50 degrees so I was thoroughly enjoying being back in Cali and was soaking in the sun in my T-shirt (ok I know this is abnormal but after below zero temperatures the last three weeks I think my Wisconsin blood came back). Anyway, I ran into my friend Paul. Now Paul is from LA, and just spent a week in Argentina. He sat down next to me wearing a full down jacket, a hat, and gloves. Not sure if he would have survived Harbin, even with the Russian hat.
Right now I’m trying to stay up as late as possible tonight - 9:00pm??? I'm also enjoying fresh air, blue skys, Sunday football, easy access to milk and cheese, and knowing that eating feet and internal organs isn't even an option for a while since I went grocery shopping at Safeway today.
Also, instead of organizing my life for the next quarter of school, I decided to upload pictures instead... this must be a record for me since I still haven’t uploaded the ones from my summer trip yet. Try not to mind our apperance too much... especially in Harbin. It was FREEZING!!! Also, I decided to save myself even further embarassment and did not upload the New Years Eve pics. Sorry!
