I finally started a blog. I've been putting this off for ages, but it does seem like a better alternative to the mass e-mails I send out to let people know where I've been and what I've been doing. It will also be nice to have pictures and videos up to give people a better sense of where I am since words don't always do a place justice. Hopefully I keep up with the posting, if only to create an online travel log that can be easily referenced as opposed to the barely legible scribblings that fill my journals. Alright, enough rambling for the welcome post, I hope you all enjoy reading this thing, let me know if you have any suggestions.
