After over 24 hours of traveling, I have finally arrived in Houston. Though I'm already missing Thai food, my Thai friends (especially the Methongs), and the laid-back pace of Thailand, I'm glad to have the comforts of home. My bed is awesome. Unfortunately, I have spent the majority of these last 48 hours in bed since it's so darn luxurious and jet lag has screwed up my sleep schedule. I managed to make a trip to Rice for some catching up since a lot of alums are in town for Beer Bike. Tomorrow I have a practice walk for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. The Walk is my latest project. I'm just over halfway to my goal of raising $2000. I think this last stretch of fundraising will be the hardest, but I'll give it my best shot before the event on April 12-13. You can check my progress (and donate) at:

I've shortened the website for convenience, though it leads to the same place as the other website from a previous blog. Also, I've brought back 50 scarves from Thailand that I plan to use as a fundraiser. Though I'm not sure where to go or whom to ask, I'm hoping to receive a $10 donation for each scarf. Any ideas? We'll see how that works out... I'm modeling one of the scarves in the picture above while pointing to my home for the last six months- Nakhon Chaisi, Nakhon Pathom (just west of Bangkok). Well, that's the update for now. Stay tuned- I think my next blog post will be my last!
