Back and Books

[jrising]

I'm back, after a trip that couldn't hardly have been better. See the evidence. Kiev particularly deserves more visits, if you like coffee on every corner and sushi in every restaurant.

During the trip, I read India: A Traveler's Literary Companion, a diverse collection of Indian short stories, and Rich Dad, Poor Dad, a disturbingly misleading manual on getting rich quick.

After an NYT article (from Science Times) I read just before starting the trip, I'm trying to keep a "research journal", and putting aside my topically organized notepads for a nicely-bound chronology. I can't tell yet if it's worth the change.

Oh, good, I see you made it to Kibbutz Sde Eliyahu! What did you think? :)

*Wonderful* seeing you!

It was great! The tour woman showed us a bunch of tidbits from their community, their fisheries, organic farming, and natural predators products. Near the end, it felt a bit like a commercial, but I learned a lot.

It was so nice to see you! Come visit New York too.
