Today (well, part of yesterday as well) Jasmine and I spent a while looking through her pictures from Peru. She has some really excellent pictures in the ~560 that she took. It’s a really good thing that I lowered the picture quality a notch or two one my camera before she left. The memory card had about 20% of the space left when she returned…so if I hadn’t thought of that then she would have ran out of space early and only brought home around ~300 Peru pictures and missed out on so many pictures during trips towards the end.
Along with the images that she took, she also has some ~900 that one of her friends, Chris, from the trip put on some cds for her. His images are also great, but far less of them actually have her included in the group shots for some reason.
If you have a flicker account and want to checkout her pictures then you can check them out on my flickr photostream, but you’ll have to request me as a friend first..as I don’t want my family pictures and pictures of me in general available to random strangers across the Internet at wild. I’m sure Jasmine wouldn’t like that either.
Just sent a request via flickr and I’ll hook you up with some sweet Peru pictures though!

So I woke up early and got to the airport today to pickup Jasmine! The flight may have landed on time (12:05 PM), but it took another 50 minutes or so before they came through the terminal. I also made sure to get there early…around 10:30…so I would have plenty of time to find parking and find the terminal where she would come out, but honestly it was all very simple!
After picking her up I took her out to the awesome subway on Western Blvd. here in Raleigh…so we sat and ate while she told me about a lot of her fun stories. Seems like she had a ton of awesome times and memories in Peru!
I lent my camera to her as well and she took a good amount of pictures, nearly filling the memory stick with ~560 pictures of her with friends and scenery! There are some great pictures from the Inca Trail as well. If you’re a friend of mine on flickr then you can check out her photos on my flickr account at http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyleabaker/.
Well, today I get to drive down to Raleigh and have a “Guy night out”. Haha, I’ll be alone so that’s why it’s funny, but it should be a fun night away from home and hanging out all night doing whatever I want to do. Then tomorrow I get to pick up Jasmine from the airport!
Hopefully I can fit a beach trip in soon, but until then I’ll take advantage of my time away from home and chilling in Raleigh! Actually I’ll be staying in Cary tonight, but Raleigh after that. Hopefully they’ll have a pool where I’m staying! I haven’t looked into the options yet, just got a room.
There’s something about staying in hotels that I’ve always loved. I still have no clue what it is really, but it’s like getting to do whatever you want like your own apartment or whatever with the benefits of not having to clean up anything…and just take advantage of everything that…that’s the fun part.
Well, I better get on the road! Maybe I’ll blog again when I get to the room.
Except for the fact that I got my stitches removed today! All ~40 of them.
They just put tape on the scar for now, as extra support to make sure it doesn’t open up (boy that’d be bad).
I’d upload a photo or two, but Jasmine has my digital camera while she’s in Peru. She’s got to get up at 5 am in the morning (Saturday) to go on the Inca trail. They’re one hour behind us there, so that means it will be 6 am here.
She seems to be enjoying her stay there…when she’s not feeling sick from some of the food.
In other news, Google changed their favicon today (or was it yesterday evening?). Well, I personally don’t care much for the new favicon. It’s a lowercase “g” instead of being uppercase.

Well, Jasmine has gone on a trip to Peru! She left yesterday around lunch time, but I’m not sure what time they arrived. I haven’t heard back from her just yet.
I told her she should keep a pretty complete journal of her trip, cause I went to Bolivia once a long time ago and only wish I had kept a better journal.
Ah well, I still remember a lot of my trip. I was just so young when I went that I’m sure it would be fun to see what I wrote about.
I setup an account here so Jasmine can blog here about her trip while she’s there if she wants, so you might see some posts rolling in from here. That should be fun to read. I also setup a blog for here at http://jasminebaker.wordpress.com/ thinking she might rather blog there, so I’m just waiting for a reply email to see which she chooses.
Anyway, Jasmine..I love you and hope you have a wonderful trip!
