My bad
Busted on my bike. Better to fall then get hit by a school bus--backing out of someone's driveway(?)
A new monkey picture
This pic is my favorite. My friend Shannon also has a video of the monkey holding my hand.PS. Thanks Aunt Mary! The "sleeveless" part is only to prevent already ridiculous tan lines. "Hey teacher, you forgot to take your white socks off!"
Crazy white girl on a bike
Current WISH LIST:
**A Book:"Zinn and the Art of Road Bike Maintenance"http://www.amazon.com/Zinn-Art-Road-Bike-Maintenance/dp/1884737706 (the 2005 edition, if possible!). I will not give my bike to anyone for maintenance because I will not get it back. I am now a female economist/bike mechanic. uh-oh.
** Some real cycling jerseys with the pockets on the back (I realized today that it's probably kind of gross to put your sunglasses in the back of your spandex bike shorts). Any color will do, but my helmet is pink. Sleeveless, size M (36). Used is fine. Help me out here Lewises!
** As many short, size 6 biking/running socks as you want to send. Either the bugs that are eating my legs are also mauling my socks, or my Guatemalan laundry lady has taken a liking to teeny tiny black smartwools.

Happy New Year!
Me and Mr. Young feeding the monkeys bananas.
I spent the last day of 2006 holding hands with a monkey. PERFECT!
We went to the Community Baboon Sanctuary where there are about 4,000 black howler monkeys living on land voluntarily preserved by community members. The man with me is my new co-worker's dad. Colin, the ecologist I co-teach sustainable development with, grew up by the Baboon Sanctuary. His dad leads tours, and knows everything about the jungle--even what plants to rub on the huge red bites on my legs to make them stop itching!
