My stories are up on facebook. Please read!

There are a ton more photos that I want to share, but they were deemed unfit for facebook for one reason or another. I'll try to post a few here.

One of the places Lance and I stopped at on our way up the coast was a reconstructed 19th century schoolhouse. The woman working there, probably out of sheer boredom from lack of visitors, chatted with us like crazy, telling us stories and being utterly fascinated by the ones I told her. The schoolhouse had desks with books from the era on each.. and I spent at least half an hour poring over the fascinating texts. Here are just a few (please click to enlarge!)



Rules for teachers, 1872



Excerpts from a 1906 geography book regarding climate
