LOVE love love the pics from your trip. i also like your quantifying things. there is a section in the NY times magazine where they do everything "by the numbers" and they just have a list of numbers with data attached to them. i mean, i guess i like it because I HEART NUMBERS.

While looking at the gorgeous fabrics, I wonder if you will always prefer bright colors and patterns (like your mom does)! It is so remarkable that your days and nights have been spent predominantly outdoors! Will you miss being outside when you come back to central heating and ac?
