I spent the end of April and the beginning of May visiting my mama, brother, grandparents, Aunt Frances, many cousins and one of my new baby cousins, Taylor. Then I left Florida and flew up to Boston. I visited dad, Elizabeth and Emily. We did some good eating.
I flew to Houston to visit my friend Karla and her boyfriend, Daniel. Karla and I went mountain biking. Houston lacks big mountains, but more than made up for it with mud. We got very muddy and had a good time. We also did a bit of canoeing, kayaking, and walking in the woods. There was no white water to play in with the kayak, but it made me eager to go back to Nepal and get thrown around by a river again.
Daniel and Karla have the second best science fiction book collection I have ever seen. They were nice enough to lend me a pile of books. I have plenty to read this summer. Daniel is also interested in science fact and it was nice to be able to discuss space travel with someone else who thinks that people should be doing more of it.
We saw a number of movies and ate in some really good restaurants. After the weekend I flew back to Boston and spent a few more days at my father's. Last Wednesday I came down to New Jersey and visited my relatives in Edison. Josh and I played lots of video games. Nancy graduated college and went on a road trip to see Micky Mouse. Josh, Uncle Jim and I played Pitch and Putt golf. If you don't worry about how many times you hit the ball, golf can be kind of fun.
Today was my first day back at work. Everything went pretty smoothly. I am the only tour leader in the office at the moment and all was quiet. I should have no trouble finishing my start-up tomorrow. My first trip this year starts on Wednesday and is almost the same as my last trip last year.
I am glad to be back at work and am looking forward to an enjoyable summer. After a great eight month vacation, I am well rested and anxious for a full summer of work.
