My Response for Morsa

NOT AT ALL!!!

Little did we know getting off of the plane in the tiny airport in Arequipa, we would be there quite awhile. Thanks to the endless cribbage game the English-Spanish dictionary, so we could look up "wait" in Espanol we managed to pass the time. Those people must have thought we were crazy.

The sunset from the airport was very nice. Especially while talking to the woman waiting there, trying to piece enough Spanish and English together between the three of us to have a conversation, while her two boys spent the whole time racing around, climbing on things and chasing each other.

We spent a lot of time in various Peruvian airports. And a little bit of time in the Miami Airport. Which was not a pleasant experience, between the ridiculous airport security and complete lack of eating establishments. At least there was a Dunkin Donuts AND a McDonalds in the Lima Airport. But I did buy the best watch ever in Miami. It's still ticking.

What we all came to see...

One good thing is that I get to watch a lot of sunsets these days, which is always something I enjoy about the summer time. And since I get off work at 7 usually, its pretty easy to grab el pooch and head on down to the river so I can relax and the dog can get some excercise and excitement at the same time.

There is usually a fair sized crowd when it's nice out, and a fair mix of hipsters and regular people in the neighborhood perch on the rocks and wait for the sun to go down.

Space

Sometimes the internet is still amazing. The live feed from the Space Station is better than the daily NASA briefings. Lots of examples of real life math or physics problems in those. You Engineers out there might like that! But anyway. It's a very strange and beautiful thing to see live feed from space, and see the shapes of continents and countries float by. I think you can get this on the NASA channel. If you get the NASA channel. I got the link from Thom Yorke, on the Radiohead blog.

The picture is from Hubble.

UnDark

To lighten things up a bit. Since my pictures are dark. (I usually take pictures when I walk the dog. And that's usually at sunset or just after!) Here is a picture of my dog sleeping on her back. And looking silly. It took her maybe a year to feel comfortable enough to sleep on her back while people were around. Now its a fairly regular occurence. Which is good for me, because it always makes me giggle to see a dog sleeping upside down.
