Back on my island

The blog is back! (Tanya- this one's especially for you, after you commented about how disappointed you were of seeing the yellow snake every time you checked my blog). I made it to Guam last night with two uneventful plane flights. And it's great. I love this island! I love running into people I know everywhere I go, I love drinking my Mr. Brown's coffee in the morning, having a whole schedule of fun things like rugby practices, beserk runs, barbecue's set up within minutes of landing, driving around and thinking about what I need to do for MY project, my very own project, watching the Japanese tourists. I love being able to say that I need to go for a hike this afternoon to check out some plants. It's great!

I landed at 5:30 last night, was picked up by Kristian and dropped off at my friend Jenn's house. She's in Europe for a month, so she is lending me her apartment, phone and car. What a friend! And she left me some great little presents and cards... You're the best, Jenn! Then it was off to touch rugby at 7:30, with Rossco and Pedro and Glen and David and a few new people. And to the Marianas Trench to meet up with some folks after that. And this morning, I stopped by the lab, saw Pete, Richard and Jim and met all the new folks there. I just found a place I can connect to the internet downtown, which is good. And that's what's going on on Guam.

I'll take some pictures, so you all can be envious of my island paradise...
