Beautiful pictures,thank you… I’ve always been curious about just how sea-like the dead sea really looks. Here it’s pretty convincing. Much smaller than it was in biblical times, I suppose, the dead end of a river system. I wonder how the nearby vegetation copes with such a high local salinity?
I came here via series of steps and links, so i might get lost on the way out. If you find me, gaunt and bewildered a few days from now, please feed me and aim me toward the light.

You know the story, right? International health... work all over the place... drag my kids around in sacks through villages in Central America... yadda yadda. I decided to go for another degree, so in 2004 we moved to New Orleans with no intention of staying. Then Katrina. And then *blink*blink* New Orleans is a completely different place and we just can't leave. Suddenly I'm on TV talking about immigrants and health and Paul is starting a company. Or two. His side is high-tech, mine is community health and our lives are yearly evacuation, regular celebrations, and nonstop work here, there, and everywhere. Our door is always open. I only ask that if you decide to go ahead and make yourself that mint julep, you make one for me, too.

We strive to make our life our argument.
