After eleven years in Utah, I've been given the amazing opportunity to take a little more than a year off. This leave of absence was generously given to my by my school in order to join the University of Virginia's Semester at Sea program in the Spring 2013 on a trip from San Diego, CA to Barcelona Spain. Additionally, I'll try to update this throughout the year to let folks know what I'm up to and where in the world I am.

The Prime Meridian!
At 1443 (2:43 p.m.) today April 5, we crossed the equator (0 degrees North/South) at the Prime Meridian (0 degrees East/West). This is a featureless point off the west coast of Africa and has no significance except for geeky-types like me. Whee!!!! One minute it's fall, the next spring. Actually it's pretty hot and feels like summer on both sides of both imaginary lines. We arrive in Ghana tomorrow morning.
