The obvious reasons were clearly stated by the G-man, but the lessor known benefits include personal security as well. If some would-be thug is interested in snagging some easy traveler's checks--he'll think twice if he observes his would-be victim launching cheerfully colored, semi-liquid debris from her schnauzer. It is also a great strategy for clearing a path through crowded sidewalks... most folks will avoid you like the nose-plague they think you have--and the Red Sea of pedestrians seem to part in biblical proportions. Beth! Congratulations! Besides, Beantown, Medford and Havaad Squaare are way boring compared to your old NY stomping ground... hence my three hour drives down there on weekends to hang out with you and Lauren. Ladies, enjoy the rest of your travels, keep up the fantastic blog(!) and if you ever find yourselves in Strasbourg (if you ever get a break), please drop a note and come visit! -Luc Yeah, I’m going to have to side with Uncle G on this one (sorry Pat) but speaking as a 28 year old, snot-rockets are the way to go.

I beg to differ. Snot rockets are a very economical means of relieving overloaded sinuses. And, think of all the trees you will save in the process by avoiding those middle class tissues. Sounds like your mom had a great time with y'all. Nice job on getting accepted to NYU, Beth. Quite a feat and you guys will stay nearby. Go Violets! Remember, June 23-30th at Playa Negra.

Congratulations Beth on your NYU decision--I'm proud of you! It will always be nice to say that you turned down Harvard. Can't wait for the Rome blog and Lauren's fight with the gladiators!
