Sacramento hello

We have reached Sacramento, and we are in the hostel that we are staying at for the night. They are having an art show on the premises tonight, which may or may not be worth its hype. Silk dresses? $500 ceramic pots? Three-piece band combo of drums, guitar, and saxophone? You be the judge. Today we finally (!) left Reno and drove through mountain passes to reach Lake Tahoe, and eventually, California. These excited students scampered around at the many stops made, collecting tree samples, and taking pictures. The pictures have not yet been uploaded, and since my computer is out of memory, will wait to be uploaded on mine until a few days from now. Until then, use your imaginations, and enjoy our trip's mascot: a pop-tart!

We will be back home in under 24 hours...
