Lindsy vs. a lot of the country

So, approximately a month ago, I embarked on a mega road trip. It started out with a friend, who had come to my wee town to hang out and do some backpacking. We drove up together to Denver, where she lives. Then I headed west to visit some other friends from college. Then up to visit my sister, then south again to a frisbee tourney, then north again, then way east (family reunion) then west-ish a bit (wedding of dear friends) then slowly southwest again, towards home with various stops where friends and relatives live. Yeah, long trip. I decided to map it out, and give you the mileages between each major stop, should you really care. Mostly it was for my curiousity. I think the picture enlarges if you click on it.

In other notes of interest, I have been accepted into the masters program (translating and interpreting) at the University of Granada, signed up for classes, and am trying to figure out how to pay for it. I'm just hoping I can actually attend most of the classes, and get the degree...

And now, since I clearly am not in the "bloggy" mood, I shall put up a few pictures and leave it at that, por ahora.

Beginning of Gila Wilderness Adventure Hike (in which Erin and Lindsy find a crashed plane, nearly step on a rattlesnake, set up terrible bear bags, cross the river a lot, and generally have a great time).

Lunch in the black canyon.

The beautiful vineyard on which live three of my beautiful friends. [insert snarky comment about adjective choice here.]
