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.Wondercon
    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.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. Tikal
    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.Museum of Science and Industry
    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.Salsa Festival

Koh SamuiHello lovely readers!  I want to let you know that I am leaving tonight for southeast Asia and I will be out of town until July 23.  So while I will be taking a break from blogging during that time, rest assured that there will be plenty of new and possibly interesting things to read here once I’m back.

In case you’re interested, here is the order of all the places I will be visiting:  Ho Chi Minh City – Mekong Delta – Phnom Penh – Siem Reap – Angor Wat – Bangkok – Koh Samui – Hong Kong.  It should be fun!

Yeah, this picture is of Koh Samui.  Can. not. wait.

asia, vacation
