He said his first word!
T - This is Travis. Well, here we go.
Bekah and I have been together 2 years today, the ides of March, and we celebrated last night with red wine and leftovers. And we read to each other from the 3, count 'em, 3 books we got yesterday by way of the internet and its infinite supply of books. We got a phrasebook of the Tetun language (Lonely Planet), a travel book of East Timor (also Lonely Planet) and a small book about the recent genocide in East Timor. Bekah looked up the Tetun word for wine and for everything we were eating (though we didn't look for the word "leftovers") and we found the language had some Spanish-looking words. Por ejemplo, "Ola" is "Hi." So I says to the words, "Hey! Jou look espanish!"
We bought lots at REI. $700 worth. Bekah got a good sized REI backpack, I got some Chacos and some cross-training boots, we both got 3 short wool socks, I got two "Bug Off" bandanas that are supposed to be insect repellent, we got 2 LED headlamps, a Petzl and an Aurora (2 different kinds in case one type is unreliable), one lantern/flashlight, 2 travel cups (one was very hard to open), 3 Nalgene bottles, Bekah got 3 pants and/or capris and a long sleeve Patagonia shirt, and a partridge in pear tree. Thank you so much, those-who-gave-wedding-gifts, for the help there.
Well, off to work for now. I still have to "get things done for America" as a VISTA, so...
