Wanderlust

I dropped my mom off at the airport a couple hours ago and her plane is currently winging its way back to Charlotte (via Atlanta). With her now gone, and Jose at home in Corpus Christi all week, I suddenly feel quite lonely, especially with a three-day weekend on the horizon! I have plenty of things to do around the house (er, apartment) so I guess I'll take advantage of the downtime to knock some of those off my list.

Earlier today, I was cleaning some old files off my computer here at work and came across the Patagonia slideshow that we made to show to the coworkers who were interested in hearing about our trip. It made me want to leave the country in a very bad way.

Oh man, I had forgotten how many fabulous photos I got of Patagonia. It was so beautiful that it would have been difficult to not take a great picture, and yet the number of photos I took that I want to print out and hang on my wall, even two and a half years later, is stunning. (In fact, I did print the one above and it currently hangs prominently above my couch.) I can only hope that I get half as many great photos in Alaska next month, and that the weather in the great white north treats us as well as it did in the great white south.
