OMFG

I find laptops extremely hard to type on, so this will be short.

I love that damn bird Coco. He loved me, but then he left me for Julie. I tried to get him to perch back on my shoulder, and then he tried to bite me. Cheating bastard. Julie steals all of my boyfriends.

So far, this has definitely been the most interesting trip I've ever been on. My only complaint: sandwiches for every meal. No one else seems to have a problem with this, but damn if I'm not tired of peanut butter sandwiches.

The landscape here is definitely beautiful. Very austere, and nothing I actually want to be right in the middle of (I'm not much of a "nature" person, and I'm damn scared of rattlesnakes), but pretty to look at nonetheless. The sheer rock cliffs I find particularly nice. However I've begun to get homesick for Austin, and I've realized how much I've taken for granted the fact that you can drive down the street to purchase hard liquor, and not 35 miles.

We've seen antelopes, deer, horses, a skunk, rabbits, a duck, a heron, and a crapload of cows. I tried to catch the duck, but was foiled. And then Matt yelled at me for trying to feed the fish.

The one thing I DIDN'T see was the very attractive German boy who led the Marfa art museum tour. I can't believe I missed him. I mean, only for the opportunity to speak German. I am a German major after all. I expect Kim to post a picture of him. HOTT.

Tomorrow we ride horses!!!! Besides Coco, I expect them to be the highlight of the trip. Hooray!
