Clarification on my last post

I was going to edit my last post, but I'm not going to, as I think it's mostly correct. I did want to reiterate that I am not at all disappointed by my trip thus far, everyone I've talked to has been very nice (as most people everywhere are), it's VERY pretty out here, and quite different to what I'm used to. I am very excited about getting out and seeing more things. The desert is really weird for me, with the combination of the mud walls (very pretty), low buildings and small scraggly brush, I felt as if I'm missing something just below the surface of everything. Hopefully I will discover it this week!
