There's no place like (this home away from home). This is a typical Kansas field next door to Aaron's parents' property. They live on a dirt road in the middle of, well, America. When asked where the road led to, Aaron's reply was, "There are a lot of roads around here, most of them don't go anywhere in particular". Hmm. Riverton is a typical mid-west small-town, where everything happens at half speed and comes with ranch salad and fries. The bloke sitting next to me on the flight on the way over here even gave me a quiet heads-up (after observing the prompt manner with which I put away my laptop and keenly ordered my ginger beer with no ice) that if I was a city girl I should understand that things might not happen around here at the pace I'm used to. He was right.Friday, March 13, 2009

Great to see some pics of your early travels! Sounds like your eating, playing, viewing has been all it should be so far. I expect the upcoming pics of NY will have slightly more highrise than the flat fields of Kansas...
