Didja miss me?

I'm back from Brazil! What a great trip. I even dipped my toes into Argentina and Paraguay. But I didn't blog about it here at all. Gone are the days (like my 2003 Uzbekistan trip, my 2005 Syria trip, and my 2007 Egypt trip--all can be found in the archives) when would post about my travels when travelling solo. I guess I just didn't feel like it. Regular blogging should return. On the other hand, I post so erratically these days I have no idea what "regular blogging" on Rubber Hose is.
