Three Cups of Tea

I just finished reading Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Relin. It was amazing! It was Humboldt State's book of the year last year, and I am kicking myself for not meeting the authors when they visited the school. The book is so sweet, and exciting. It mixes Greg's mountain climbing stories and pertinent life experiences, with his 10 year long journey of building schools in Pakistan. I learned so much about rock climbing, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. I am so inspired. Definitely pick up a copy if you haven't read it yet.

Happy Squid Bento

I haven't been making bentos for a while. It was fun to get back into it. The top tier is spice sweet vegetable covered with mung bean noodles dyed purple with a vegan ham squid and a spinach rock.

Burning Man 2010

I just got back from my very first burning man! It was amazing. The picture above is the man the night of the burn. There were a lot of dust storms all day, but luckily it cleared up and the burn wasn't delayed.

The picture above is the Temple. Each year has a different theme, but they are always shorter then the man and burned the day after. The picture below is just a small slice of the typical scenery. There were so many art cars, themed camps, and interactive art installations I wish there was enough space to give proper credit to them all.
