I'm So Proud

that SUNY Binghamton has been named one of the ugliest campuses in the US. It was named #8 and included with other SUNY campuses, but I think on it's own it could have broken the Top 3.

I'm also proud that the road from Ica to Ayacucho - the one I traveled via bus from Lima to Ayacucho where my archaeological projects were - has been named one of the most dangerous roads in all of Peru. While waiting at the bus station in Ayacucho for the night bus back to Lima I was talking to someone about how I would not want to drive through the mountains at night. The dude said, in all seriousness, "Don't worry, there are always two drivers who take turns and they smoke weed to keep themselves awake."
