Here's a quick summary of what we've done: Art and Cafes in Utrecht A trip to the beach A weeked in Brugge, Belgum More lounging, etc in Utrecht (you may think that's a bad excuse ... http://mikeely.com/?p=36 **I wrote this post about Robodock and failed to post it here, so this is from 10/5/2006. Sorry about that!** We had a great time. GREAT! Lots of hard work + lots of goofing off = a tired and content Keely. I find it hard to fully describe the event. For those ... http://mikeely.com/?p=35 Mike and I have now been in Amsterdam for Robodock for three days. Getting here was an adventure in itself. The thing with going to an arts festival as an artist is that you need to haul all sorts of stuff there with you. We set off for the airport ... http://mikeely.com/?p=34 #1 While we were planning our trip to Alaska I told Sarah that our friend Craig grew up there and that I would ask him for advice.

This particular photo is ... http://mikeely.com/?p=29 Our good friend Sarah, a passionate lichenologist who can hardly go ten minutes without wanting to stop the car to explore lichens, comes up to Alaska sometimes to work.
