So what is she up to in New York?

Well, I would suggest reading cyan_blue's LJ since she posts on the road more than I do.

Having fun though. Got lost in the Darwin exhibit and the American Museum of National History. Loved it. Lots of information about this life. Seeing the actual collections he worked with, his handwritten papers. I have studied the history but it is oddly comforting to see he was a real person and know some of the struggles he went through to make those achievements. For example, he struggled with a chronic disability and pain as well.

Make me more optimistic.

"The Origin" by Irving Stone is a good book on Darwin's life.
