Welcome and a User’s Guide!

Having never been a blogger before, choosing to create and host one while very actively living abroad was (predictably) been a journey of it’s own. It began on January 5th, 2011. To begin reading the posts from the beginning it is now necessary to follow the links to the “Older Posts” section. As of August 2011 I am back in Portland, Oregon, but will now be working to fill in the five-month long gap in the posts. I did A LOT, and took over 8000 photos, so there is much to share, and the sorting out is well under way.

The Portraits page is separate from the main flow of the blog and holds four separate galleries, scheduled for improovement.

• Friends & Special People
• Chance Encounters & Fellow Travelers
• Familiar Faces—Life in Cape Town
• Housemates & Intern Community
