Welcome!

Hey there, everyone!

I decided to start this blog as a way to communicate with my family and friends - that's you guys! - while I'm away on an adventure this summer. I see this blog as an opportunity: to experiment, to risk, to share, to learn. I hope to update (at least) twice per week with a picture of the things I'm seeing and thinking and writing. Who knows, if I end up liking this whole blogging thing, maybe I'll stick around a while longer. I guess that makes you all my guinea pigs...I hope you don't mind? :)

So, that's what I'm doin'.
Now, where am I goin'?

To Ashkelon, Israel for six weeks to study archaeology! I will be digging in the dirt alongside several other Wheaties, reviving history from the past and (hopefully) resuscitating it into the present. Details to come on the actual stuff I'll be working on, but for now, just call me Indiana Jones.
