The US of A

Well, life in the US has been interesting.

For one thing, I tried a chicken-fried steak and some ochre the other day. Two Texan dishes. The chicken-fried steak wasn’t bad, and the ochre was pretty much tasteless. Not too bad…

Oh, and did I mention that it hailed? Well, there was a storm, and apparently there was hail the size of golf balls falling in some parts of Texas, but where we were the hail was smaller… About half an inch. Caleb ate it. Here’s a pic -->

Well, its still freezing, we’ve been eating good, and we’ve done some shopping. I got some lovely body butter that smells like kiwis (no, not you, Abby, not the bird either, the fruit.), and also got a new awesome Skillet cd, two books—“Tolkien’s Ring,” fully illustrated by Alan LeeJ and “Grail” by Stephen Lawhead—and a t-shirt that says “On the 6th day God created Dinosaurs!” and has a big T-rex on it. So me.

We’ve also been eating lots of luvverly food… strawberries, grapefruit, whoppers, cheerios, etc. Yum yum.

Well, we’re in Arkansas now. It’s gorgeous here, was gorgeous in Texas too. I miss you all back in Cambodia, and I can’t wait to see those of you who I’ll be seeing while we’re in the US!
