in Logan, Utah

(Kayaking near Logan, Utah with my brother (obscured behind us), Lesley (paddling away in the background) and their friend Kishore, in the boat behind me)...

I'm now at my brother Christo and sister-in-law Lesley's house in Logan, in northern Utah. I guess I haven't written much on here in a long while...but to sum it all up extremely briefly, over the past 5-6 weeks since flying back to the mainland U.S., I've visited my aunt's in central California near Yosemite; visited my mom and step-dad in Ukiah, Calif.; my aunt and uncle Rod and Kathy in Chico; visited Ashland, Oregon and saw some Shakespeare plays; took the bus up to Salem, Oregon and visited my old friend Erik and his family, where I also bought a 1989 Toyota Camry sedan, then drove back up to Portland; stayed with my cousins Nick and Brenda for several days and visited other family there; then drove from there across Oregon, Idaho and into northern Utah.

So, that covers all that. I'll be here for several more days, and be visiting with my dad and step-mom when they arrive later in the week. Then from here, I'll be going to the Rainbow Gathering in western Wyoming for perhaps a week or so; and then after that I'm headed further north to go WWOOFing (work exchange on organic farms) in southern British Columbia, Canada, as well as do some hiking, camping, swimming, etc. for the summer...and who knows, since I'm technically Canadian (dual-citizen since I was born there) maybe I'll find a paying job up there for the summer as well, we'll see. I'll try and keep posted with things, but I'm not quite sure how often I'll have internet access, so when in doubt give me a ring on my new cell phone.
