"If you dont know where you are going you can never get lost" (older entries/travels) I am heading off to Sweden/Denmark for the month of June.

I hope to give you insight into Scandinavian culture, try to be entertaining, and do it with the least possible grammatical (sp) errors.... Taking a trip to South Africa to do a research project on female print makers. My goal is to visit with artists, go to galleries and print shops, take photos and drawings, and fully experience the culture. I will also be making a stop to visit a friend on a long lay over in Buenos Aires on the way. http://www.getjealous.com/lachness http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=567967&go=lachness So I made it all the way home safely.
