Camping at Chilhowee

Last Saturday I went camping with some friends (Emily, Kristin, Elisheba, etc etc). We drove up to Chilhowee in hopes of seeing the sunset from the top of the mountain; our plans were dashed, however, by a female police officer who pulled us over for speeding. Thankfully she let us off with a warning. We still missed the sunset though. :( After stopping for a few photos, we found everyone's parked cars, then gathered our gear and walked through the woods to a clearing.

We sat around the campfire, made some s'mores, and discussed Russian politics. Okay, the last one was a lie, but it would've been a fascinating conversation considering the death of Lech Kaczynski.

There were 25 people camping out -- a decent-sized crowd. As the early hours of the morning set in, we "made our beds" under the stars... Yep, no tent. It was really cold -- especially after the dew fell -- but looking up at the stars was well worth it. Here's a photo we took on our trek down the mountain, where we met some sweet ladies from the Wildflower Society.

Move for Uganda

Hey, if you're looking for something to do this weekend, come out to Chattanooga for a RUN to raise money for UGANDA. :) Nothing better than getting some good exercise and helping to raise funds for building schools and educating kids. Hosted by Invisible Children. See the website for more details.

Fish Massage, anyone?

As seen in Siem Reap, Cambodia, at the night market. A "surprise better performance for the people!" Haha.

He is Risen!

Back in the USSR

Actually, I'm back in Atlanta. And it's definitely not as hot as Cambodge, which means I don't have to sweat through my t-shirt before 10am. ;) Happy Easter everyone.
