back!

Came back this morning. We left Sunday morning, but Dav was quite tired so he napped once, then finally decided to sleep for the night at a rest stop on the highway. Better be safe and rested.

Another great week on the playa. Beautiful weather in spite a forecast of constant bad dust storms; there were 2 big storms, but Dav and I love them. We just had to make sure Tesla was not affected. And the storms kept the days rather tolerable so we could take Tesla out for fun during the day because it was cloudy, and the nights were warm (although we stayed home most of the nights).

We are both officially Rangers now. But due to timing and Tesla's care, Dav had time for only one shift. I was on-call with a radio the whole time for Japanese language-related issues. I was called only once, and was not able to do a shift. I wanted to do more, and look forward to doing my full share next year.

Since we had Gaby and her husband with us, Dav and I had 2 date nights to play! We were so happy to run around baby-free. And as Tesla wasn't so tiny this year, we were able to take her out during the day, letting her enjoy the tons of attention she received. We were pleased to see much more of the playa compared to last year. Overall, Tesla seemed to have a blast which made us have a blast too.

We have lots of pics, but I'm still in the midst of cleaning so I'll post later. Just wanted to say ただいまfor now.
