Favor?

Ladies-

Does anyone live near a Zara? I am looking for a gift for Mr. Michael. He wears the homme fragrance they make and I am having a hell of a time trying to get my hands on a bottle for his birthday (mid-September).

If anyone has access to the store and could pick me up a bottle and ship it here, I would be so, so grateful! Of course I would reimburse you for all costs: cologne, shipping, gas, and maybe a little some-something for your trouble.

In other things, life goes along truckin'. Looks like we might be making a trip to the east coast for Laurie May's getting hitched ceremony in October. I am craving more travel, so perhaps this will satiate me for the time being.

Thank you all for the updates! Keep 'em coming!

Loves,
-Leah-

I'm Baaaaaack!

My lovely ladies!

How great it was to see all of you and have you in my humble abode. Thank you all again for being part of the wedding experience. I felt so fortunate to have you all with me.
Japan and Hawaii were so wonderful. I will have to post some pictures of Japan (we didn't have a digital until we were in Tokyo) when I learn how to do such a thing. We saw so many temples, shrines, Ancient castles, really great arcitechture, and met some wonderful people. Our favorite was staying with Ko, our friend in Matsuyama on Shikoku Island. Being with his family (3 kids, Yuki-9, Mina-11, Kengo-14 and wife Yuko) was such a needed rest after having been through Tokyo and Kyoto.

I would love to go on and on, but alas, I am at work!! But here is a link to the wedding photos!!

hello from the coast of greenland

Hi all,
Thought that I would write a quick hello as I am on the coast of Greenland waiting to go up to the ice sheet. To be specific, I am in Kangerlussuaq. Kanger (as it is frequently shortened to), is on the west coast of Greenland, somewhat inland, relatively speaking, and is on the longest fjord in the country. The people of greenland, although they are technically part of Denmark, do have home rule, and speak Greenlandic (which I have found out has way longer words than German - I know, hard to believe). I have had a couple of days here on the coast while we wait for weather to be acceptable for flying, etc. to do some hiking and touristy stuff. On the coast greenland is quite green, but it doesn't really have any trees, but it does have some cool flowers, even if they only sparsely dot the landscape. I have done some hikes onto the top of the hilly landscape here and had some amazing views. Also, about 25 miles further inland is the edge of the glacier, which is a pretty amazing sight. We got to see parts of the glacier calving (breaking off) into the river below. On the coast here the temperature isn't even too cold, about mid-50s.
Hope you are all enjoying your summer.
Erika.

photos granted

Hi all,
So I have posted a selection of the photos that I took at the Noelle and Aaron's wedding on my flickr site. Check it out if you are interested. I am also burning some CDs of all the photos and will be sending them to all. (yes, that will include you too Lex!) Hope all is well with everyone.

There should be a link here, but i don't know if it is showing up - so in non-link form just in case, http://www.flickr.com/photos/erikavons/
