okay, so i don't seem to be posting

we just got back from the queen charlotte islands this morning. the internet was dial-up and expensive there (not all that surprising considering that they are a pretty remote collection of islands in the pacific). tomorrow, we turn south and boat through the canadian bit of the inside passage to port hardy. once i get there, i expect the internet will be more accessable, but i have no idea whether i will be posting much. only a week left in any case...
