It was great following your travels. The Globe picture was my favorite.

Holy crap you guys, Humana finally got their shit together and acknowledges that we are covered! Bozos.

HELLO. Glad it got fixed, Steph.

Ha, found you on flickr, Zen! Now I can keep your photostream open in a tab all day

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Please hire me when you start your own company.

I'd love to start my own company. Freelance Editing and Design, Inc. Is there room for a band of roaming editors and other freelancers that's got together and incorporated for the group benefits and a company accountant?

Thanks, Steph!

I'm Zenkitty2003 on Flickr, btw.

I wonder if I still remember how to write up a business plan. It would probably come back to me if I spent some time on it.

Oh, the Globe was fantastic! I didn't even know it was an open-air theatre. It's just beautiful inside. They did an amazing job recreating what the original Globe must have looked like. Next to it, they're now building a Winter Theatre (to be completed this year!) that is inside, as apparently there would have been one, and like the original, it will be lit entirely by candlelight. The photos they showed us of what it will look like make me want to plan another trip just to go to the plays. I also didn't know there are plays that were written specifically for the candlelit winter theatre, like The Tempest and Cymbelline, because they can do spooky dramatic things with shadow and light indoors in firelight that they can't do in the sunlight of the Globe.

That was one of my favorite things when I was there in 1999. I remember the tour guide saying they tried to recreate it as accurately as possible, down to mixing (I think) goat hair in with the plaster. (Obviously they have to adhere to modern fire codes and accessibility laws. And the bathrooms are modern.)

Oh, wow, that sounds incredible!

Also, 6 miles/day sounds like a lot to me.

That sounds super cool!

Has anyone here been to Chile? (Santiago and northern) My friend and I are going in March (sadly this means no Mexico trip this year!!) and we are trying to figure out what we want to do and how long to spend in different parts, etc. (northern half only--we are going to the atacama desert, and would love to have time to ALSO do Patagonia etc but just can't).

Because books.

The trip looks like it was fantastic, Zen. Totally a well-deserved way to end the year.

Please to accept my application, as well.
