I created this site as a travel blog. It's primary purpose is to allow Wabes (from downstate) and I (from upstate) to keep in touch with friends and family while we're travelling this summer. Wabes is currently studying and researching Berlin and will be heading to Tanzania to continue her work in mid-July. I will join her there in August after I take the bar exam.

Until now, both of us have largely resisted the blog phenomenon (though Kolzman wrote a few essays here and a good friend of Wabe's has a funny blog here) but we thought this medium might provide an easy means of updating people while we're in Africa. Hopefully, it will work well as a travel journal/website/mass postcard. Then we'll see whether I maintain it when we get home or pick it up again on another trip.
