Home and home

School let out on December 22. On the 23rd, we flew "home" to the Bay Area. We spent two weeks wrapped in a whirlwind of feasts at all hours of the day with family and friends, returning to Chicago only yesterday. The picturesque highlights of our trip are featured below.

jellyfishA small jellyfish, just bigger than a quarter, that Patrick found on the beach in Monterey Dunes. Look closely and you can see its insides! The Lem family rented a big house that ten of us shared happily--except for the traveling stomach flu that Josh, Patrick, and I all had about two days apart from each other (so someone was always sick :( ).

mushroomWe spent a day hiking around Point Lobos State Park. There were lots of mushrooms!

I have a gazillion more photos, and I just chose these two randomly ... I'll write more later, when I feel more organized. Today is a day for running errands.
It was nice to see you, everyone! Happy New Year!
