I am not sure how many night gowns are there to a pound of laundry, but the total bill might top $60. Luckily for me, I do not have any night gowns to wash and brought enough clothes to last me three weeks.

Bats, grasshoppers, super huge spiders, beetles, all happily co habitated with us. Both were awesome spots though. Abeline, Thanks for the compliment. No, we haven't contacted any publishing houses. Do you have any contacts? :) Vinay, I think I am going to see that movie again. Fred,

We drove a couple of hours to visit this supposedly awesome hot spring spot. My dad took one look at the teeny pool of water and said it looked like a dog pee-ed in there.

I was wondering how you guys were managing with all the language related mishaps. I liked Lost In Translation though. I like those slow boring types :) This is a good post!
