Perhaps one day you will return to Maryland either as a student, as a tourist, or maybe even for a job. Then you can come to Gaithersburg again and visit us. I'll tell Chris you really enjoyed the hamburgers he grilled.<BR/>P.S. Annapolis is on the Severn River and the Chesapeake Bay--not the Potomac, which empties into the Bay further south.Nina Liakoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04497100531617971306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8422566178724247487.post-15680349778322785742007-08-14T11:15:00.000-04:002007-08-14T11:15:00.000-04:00Hello, Kana.Another fascinating post—and one fille...Hello, Kana.<BR/><BR/>Another fascinating post—and one filled with many interesting details.<BR/><BR/>Friday was a full day! I especially enjoyed reading your comments on the <A HREF="http://www.lib.umd.edu/prange/html/collection.jsp" REL="nofollow">Prange Collection</A> at the University of Maryland. I had no idea such a resource existed! I also enjoyed reading about the cook-out at Nina-sensei's house. It sounds like a fun evening!<BR/><BR/>Your visit to Annapolis sounds very enjoyable. I would have enjoyed it, too, I think, because I love crab and because I also really like cruises.<BR/><BR/>Your visit to the <A HREF="http://www.nmai.si.edu/" REL="nofollow">National Museum of the American Indian</A> was also very interesting to me. It's a great tragedy that many, many Native Americans disappeared due to disease and poor treatment not long after the arrival of Europeans in North America. Another great tragedy is that even among the Native American groups that exist today, so much of their culture has disappeared. There's a famous Native American museum in Phoenix, by the way: the <A HREF="http://www.heard.org/NETCOMMUNITY/Page.aspx?&pid=204&srcid=183" REL="nofollow">Heard Museum</A>. I've visited its downtown Phoenix location several times, and it's fascinating.<BR/><BR/>The state of Arizona also has a number of <A HREF="http://ag.arizona.edu/edrp/tribes.html" REL="nofollow">Native American reservations</A>. Did you know that?<BR/><BR/>I also enjoyed reading your comments on your visit to the <A HREF="http://www.mnh.si.edu/" REL="nofollow">National Museum of Natural History</A> (the Smithsonian). I've never been there, but I'd love to visit it some day.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to reading more posts in your blog!<BR/><BR/>Best wishes--<BR/><BR/>Dennis in PhoenixDennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14406878238507555896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8422566178724247487.post-28891684113249184532007-08-13T12:57:00.000-04:002007-08-13T12:57:00.000-04:00Hello, Kana!I enjoyed reading through your post ab...Hello, Kana!<BR/>I enjoyed reading through your post about the weekend! It seems that you really had an awesome weekend, which is sooo great!<BR/><BR/>I wish I were there with you guys to go to Karaoke!
