My Tent!

Today I put up my tent for practice! I've never pitched a tent or slept outside, so tonight I'll be camping in our backyard. (Ignore the house in the background....) It'll be my home away from home in just a few weeks but unfortunately a nice bathroom won't be just a few steps away when I'm in Peru. It's quite nice inside the tent and will make a lovely shelter for me and my dog.

Tomorrow I have my conference call with the U of C grant office, so wish me luck. They are currently holding my funds hostage and say that they "hope everything will be resolved" by the time I leave.

Soon to come: video blogs!
