A few photos for your perusal

Ok, I've finally gotten around to editing some photos.  Lag time of about a week, I'm so embarrassed!  It's usually only a few hours!

 Here is a picture of the observation car of the Amtrak.  It is full of British people.

 This is my applique project for the year.  I am about halfway done with the blocks.

 The scenery was very pretty most of the time.  This is part of western Colorado, I think.

 There was a brief but heavy rainstorm as we passed through Utah.  This is the pretty rainbow I mentioned.

 Very nice reflections.

 When I arrived, Ben and I took a tour of the Berkeley campus.  This is the UC Berkeley equivalent of Krehbiel Science Hall.  Had I been a student here, I would have set up a cot and had a hot plate in the lobby.

 We had a "yay birthday, yay job" supper.

This is the living space in my house.  It is very orange, but the boxes of lettuce and bags of plums usually aren't present.  They are just there for a few hours on Thursday, before our giant food distribution.

There are a lot more photos on Facebook, if you somehow missed the giant album that I just uploaded.
