I’m baaaack!  For this Friday Five, here’s what I’ve been up to since March…

1. I went to Wondercon in April. It was nerdy and amazing. The best part was sitting in on the Dr. Who panel, which included Neil Gaiman.
2. For spring break, the bf and I went to New Orleans. The architecture was pretty, the effects of Hurricane Katrina are still visible, and the food was unreal. Mmm, beignets.
3. This summer I spent a month in Guatemala so that I could study Spanish.  I took five hours of Spanish class each day, but I also got to travel around the country a bit. The Maya temples in Guatemala are pretty incredible.
4. After I got back to the states, I spent some time with my family and friends in the Midwest. I also got to visit the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, which was also nerdy and amazing.
5. Now I’m back in California and loving the bay area.  Two weeks ago I went to the 4th Annual Salsa Festival in my town.  I live in a predominately Hispanic part of town, so the Salsa Festival was the place to be. Great food, great music, great dancing.
