Lame Duck

I thought about posting this a few days ago; then I realised that the next 36 hours really are my lame duck period. I'm pretty much packed, so there's nothing to do until tomorrow when I go to the airport and then it's sitting on a plane for ten hours.

I've been completing a farewell tour of sorts for the last two and a half weeks or so. Two weeks in SC is great way to send myself off. 1000 miles driving, and about 25 miles each of running and biking - I'd say I performed pretty well for being on vacation. Here are a few pictures:

Flags on Church St, SOB in Charleston

Charleston Harbor on the day we biked downtown (sorry for the blur, Blogspot's uploader degraded the file extensively; if you click on the picture, you'll get a pretty good view of the harbor and a Yang Ming container ship pulling out of dock)

I don't have a lot more to say right now except that I'll do my best to post within a few days of getting to Russia - I really have no idea about how accessible the Internet will be.
