This could become the best spring break ever. Hiking in Big Bend was a blast (though I wouldn't recommend going between May and October) and within thirty minutes of coming home I had a job offer for the summer and a place for my wedding. Sweet.

I even got to see javelinas, which are kind of the wild pigs of the desert southwest. And Noah, in case you were wondering, the Rio Grande is probably a third as wide in Big Bend as it is in Northern New Mexico. I swam across it to Mexico, which took approximately 10 strokes. The minutemen should really look into this.
