Zamora, Michoacan

This'll be a short post, sin fotos (without pictures). Both my laptop battery & camera batteries are on their last little bits of power, but I thought I'd check in.

We took a 6.5 hour bus trip to Zamora, a little town in Michoacan. The Student has a meeting with a professor tomorrow, and I'm going to wander around town, checking out the place. Right now I'm sitting poolside at the hotel, listening to the crickets, and enjoying an utterly perfect evening. It's maybe 65 degrees, 50% humidity ... bliss.

Once the laptop & camera are resurrected, I'll post a few more photos to the Picasaweb page; if you click the link a post or two down, you'll get the latest (there's maybe 48 photos there now). Already found things to check out in Zamora - just not tonight.

Feeling grateful for so very much tonight - to the borg for that 'sabbatical' thing, to my family for encouraging me to make this trip, to everyone who's helping out with the Kid (who is in Georgia tonight - first night of two weeks!), to the Student for asking me to come along on this part of his research. (Somehow I don't think Zamora would've been on my short list of places to visit otherwise; I didn't even know it existed!)

More tomorrow, 'night for now. Listenin' to the crickets.
