(i wrote this writeup as a letter to my grandmother, nonni. it was partially because nonni likes this sort of thing, and also because it just makes the writing easier. or something like that. anyway, here it is. feel very free to use the comment fields for any sort of rambling you want. - mabedole)

dear nonni,

i told you i'd try to write you another letter on my recent travels and here it goes. it's a bit long (about 130 pictures total), but i figure you'll enjoy them anyways. by the way, i did this letter a little differently than the last one from saline valley. still, you'll find some of the same people and similar pictures of friends together and hot springs, all that good stuff.

also, like the last one, i am putting this one up on the web too. we'll see what happens when others see my silly meanderings written for my grandma (if you're one of those other people, welcome to my silly meanderings).

so the last time we chatted, i told you a little bit about burning man. basically, you're about to see my trip in two parts. for the first week or so, i was at the annual burning man festival. afterwards, i left with vanna white to pick up wrybread who has been in mexico for the last couple of months. of course, this was totally exciting - we made the slow journey home by taking our turns at different hotsprings east of the sierras.

enjoy....   next >>
