What a wild, utterly unbelievable week.

Almost no sleep last night due to the epic conversation well into dawn, and yet somehow I got up at 7am, made my costume (including working a sewing machine - first try - which I haven't even touched in 10 years.. was quite proud of myself), headed out an hour into the desert to do a hydrology lab, which involved wading chest-high in a fast-moving, 50 degree river to take flow measurements, barefoot (as I watched one of my sandals slip off and float downriver), trying to decide between gaining my footing on slippery, slimy moss-covered rocks or the ground between covered in sharp broken shells.. all before 5pm, and I have a million things to do all before my flight at 4am.

And that was only today..

Be back in a week. Much love.
