Sorry for the disappearing act, everyone. I'd figured I'd be able to blog sporadically from my vacation, but found out to my slight shock that Internet Points are rarer in Sicily than in Barinas. Living out of a tent is definitely not conducive to the blogging lifestyle. Thanks so much to Katy for keeping the home fires burning...
Anyway, I come back just in time to find out Chavez has been working to fatten up my right-hand column. Great fun.
