Well, I HAD a journal up that said I was going on vacation... I guess it didn't send or something.

But yeah! I've been out the past four days. Got a few things to show in terms of photography, updated my profile, and ate more McDonalds than any one person should be proud of. But that's what happens when you're on a budget.

I banged up my arm falling down a small cliff face at Palo Duro Canyon. I also face planted while running down a 50 foot sand dune- but sand is soft, so it wasn't too bad except for the fact that I'm still finding sand in my clothes 4 days later.

Also almost got hit in the face by bats! Like- the small, fluttery things that get a bad rap in hollywood (i.e. Cujo, Dracula, Office Space). That was an exciting night, it's a shame we couldn't photograph it though. Getting to watch them swirl and fly out of Carlsbad Cave was awesome.

Oh yeah, in between destinations there was a total of about 24 hours of driving. Any of you Europeans who haven't been to the states... you might think your traffic is bad, but trust me when I say it's not as draining as going six hours and seeing two towns total along the way. Most of which consist of maybe three buildings and a dude who looks like he was ripped straight out of TCM.
