It's never too early

Tiga Lake, Nigeria - July 2001

A few folks have commented how early I've begun blogging about this trip. As you'll see, there's lots to do!

The last time I travelled (you'll pry the ll-ed/ing from my cold dead typing fingers) somewhere with a semi-tropical climate and pollution isses -- Nigeria 2001 -- I learned what a pain in the... neck long hair can be. But worse, how utterly impossible it is to keep bangs clean.

Therefore. I am officially growing my bangs out -- and I'll need the whole year to do that.
