Well, my Mac is pretty (and the sun is too)

So, sorry folks, I know I was meant to post a few days ago. But, I have a great excuse, really do: I've been working on the dissertation. So, in honor (or is that honour), my picture this week is my Mac, and one of my two typing hands. 

[hears outcry that a picture of a computer is all there is]

Oh, all right, I'll throw you a real picture too. I've been thinking about Jamaica a lot lately, probably partially because my    dissertation relates to Jamaica, and partially because it has almost been a year since I left for Jamaica, and partially because it has been almost exactly six months since I lived in Jamaica.  One of the things I miss most about Jamaica was the traveling we were able to do. I literally went all around the island, up a mountain, stayed at a nice hotel and an African hut, and of course saw the beautiful sun set over the ocean.  For our very last trip, we went to Treasure Beach, someplace we almost missed.  We decided, very last minute, to go ahead and make the journey on mini bus, and thankfully, it was totally worth it.  Treasure Beach is quite unlike other places in Jamaica in that it is not tourist-y at all.  In fact, if you don't like quiet or don't bring along your own fun, you may find it boring.  But, we found it a great place to spend one last weekend together before we all left for our various holiday destinations. We had fun on the beach riding some of the biggest waves we'd seen on the island, and just enjoying each other's company.

Anyway, here's to Treasure Beach and my fellow Jamaican IPSL kids: I really miss you guys! (well, not Jerome. But that's just because he lives 3 doors and 20 feet away from me) This sunset picture, possibly taken from a camera other than mine, is for you.
