Gettin' Ready To Go, and a Hermit Crab!

Well, today and yesterday we've just been getting ready to go.  Yesterday we said goodbye to my aunt and uncle.  I'm going to miss them.  I've learned so much about wood working from my uncle while we've been here.  We also went around and said bye to most of the other MAPS volunteers.  They've started to feel more like aunts, uncles, grandmas, and grandpas instead of just friends.  The picture on the left is of all the MAPS guys here sitting in our break room, we've had some fun times during our half hour break.  I'm going to miss everyone here.  Hopefully we'll meet up with them again soon.  Today we thought we were going to leave by 1:30 pm.  Between Dad's work and Mom feeling uneasy about driving in bad traffic, they decided to stay.  We'll probably leave by 10 am tomorrow morning.  I'm excited to get back on the road, but sad to leave all these wonderful people here, if only you could get to know them.

On a happier note, yesterday I got a new hermit crab.  My last one died and the guy at Petco said even if it was past the 15 day limit I could still exchange it for a live one. So, I got a crazy, wild little crab that doesn't even like to stay in his shell.  He's not shy at all, if you put him on your hand he'll crawl right up your arm! : )

  1. That is one amazing looking crab -- what did you name him? Does he do tricks? And, do you keep him in your "room"? I love his/her colors and designs.

  2. I haven't named him yet. I'm working on getting him to jump through a flaming hoop while being suspended over a sea gull filled tank! :) The shell is actually supposed to look like a cobra. I'm trying to get him to move into a more natural looking shell.
