And along the way I saw lots of interesting things. In Holbrook, New Mexico, along Route 66, I came upon this gas pump and laughed.

Loads to do over the next few days but everything is going swimmingly so far. Er, not everything. Before I could even pick up my new computer from the English department, it was stolen. Right out of my locked office. Not good.

Aside from that, I continue to be amazed at how friendly Phoenicians are. A very pleasant change from Boston. Though I do feel as though I’m being rude all the time because I’m not quite adjusted to the friendly factor.

More culture shock tales to follow.
