Preparing to Leave

I'm home in Walla Walla, WA after traveling through five states in one day (CA, ID, NV, OR, WA). Mom and I camped in Yosemite for two nights with my brother and sister-in-law (and their dog). To my joy, I discovered that Yosemite's "reconstructed indian village" has placards describing how various plants, tools, and buildings were used by the Native Americans living in Yosemite in English and in Southern Miwok! So cool!

After that we went to Sacramento to stay with my aunt and uncle. We visited the California State Indian Museum and saw beautiful baskets with bird feathers woven into them. We also met a Navajo lady whose brothers were code talkers.

I'm preparing to leave for Ghana this coming Sunday. I get there on Monday and will be gone all semester. I may not have much access to the Internet, but I'll post when I can.
