The Practice Post

Hello friends. Welcome to my little travel blog.

To warm up for my Big Trip next week, I took a Little Trip. On June 12, 2010, I celebrated 5years of Dartmouth Alumna-hood, and this weekend, I commemorated the occasion by heading back to New England. I spent Thursday night in Boston with Liana, where we did what we do best -- eat and talk about people.* We also took a couple of strolls around her neighborhood, Davis Square, in Somerville. It was a nice night.

Friday morning, I did a little homework, because I am a very responsible and studious person. And then Jackie and Oscar arrived! Baby Nugget has turned into a Big Boy since the last time I saw him!

While we waited for Liana, we took a stroll, had some lunch and then played with Ninja, the Dancing Turtle.

And when Liana came home from school, we headed North. Dartmouth is even more beautiful than I remembered! While we were there, we had lots and lots of fun. Tons of dancing and merry-making. Dartmouth College really knows how to welcome everyone back!

It felt almost just like college! Even missing class (Thursday night -- sorry, Professor Wolfe) and feeling guilty for playing with my friends instead of doing homework!

It was also so great to see so many old friends. Someone said, and I agree with her, at Dartmouth, there is a much higher concentration of amazing people doing awesome things than almost anywhere else in the world. I think it's because we all "have the granite of New Hampshire in [our] muscles and [our] brains."**
