Christmas is over and Heather and I are finally finishing the very last leg of what was supposed to still be our honeymoon. We're leaving bright and early tomorrow morning from Cleveland with our little Acura, hoping to hit Berkeley, California by Tuesday, January 4th.

We've each done cross-country drives before but never before has either of us journeyed across the great state of Oklahoma. It is a real milestone for us and we'll be celebrating appropriately some time saturday. We'll be taking a southern route on 70 and 40 hitting other similar wonders including St Louis, MO, Amarillo, TX, and Bakersfield, CA.

Even though we're off on another adventure, updates are fairly unlikely given that we'll be staying in shady motels and trying to cover about 500 miles a day!

We're now just inches away from moving to Berkeley! We signed papers on our new house a few days ago, and are just waiting for the sellers to clear out the last of their stuff from the house. If all goes well we might be moved in by this weekend.

Unfortunately, this comes right at the same time that our friends Maggie and Julio are leaving Berkeley, so that's kind of sad. We wish them well on their new life in New York!

Now that we know where we're going to live, I've started doing some research on the area known as "South Berkeley"

We've posted the last of our monster moon pictures.. You'll find them here:

• Johannesburg to Lesotho
• Coffee Bay to Cape Town

And in Asia, we posted pictures from our 4 days in Singapore.

We're coming home. Okay okay, we snuck home a few weeks ago to visit our friends' new baby, vote, and take care of some family matters... but we're back in the Bay Area.

Not one person we met in any country thought our president was doing a good job. Agree with me? vote! Disagree with me? send me an email. :)

This includes people from: UK, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Belgium, Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and USA to name a few of the countries where they are watching our election results with keen interest.

No Namibians expressed any opinions to me.

Heather and I have arrived in Cleveland, OH and are spending the night here before begining our wild trek!
