I am never, ever eating goat again.
Will write more when I'm not dying.
Maeghan has a quite brilliant trip-update bullet point list here. I'm particularly proud of its brilliance because I helped compose it. And I should mention that the segregated restaurant we ate at was segregated by gender, which we only figured out when we walked in and were promptly shooed upstairs. At least the food was good. And not goat.

The physicist Leo Szilard once announced to his friend Hans Bethe that he was thinking of keeping a diary: "I don't intended to publish. I am merely going to record the facts for the information of God." "Don't you think God knows the facts?" Bethe asked. "Yes," said Szilard. "He knows the facts, but He does not know this version of the facts."
