Around the world and back again

Like Kmomo's post about recalling all the memories that come from balancing your check book over the course of a few months, so it is with laying to rest my trusted Nalgeine that I've had since High School.  For fear of cancer it was tossed out and replaced with Nalgeine 2.0.  But before it's last breath, let's review all the places its gone...

First time out of the country it ventured to Uganda.  This was in fact the purpose of the Nalgeine, which it fulfilled excellently.  It even suvived rapids on the Nile River.  

Next was several trips to Mexico, namely Ensinada and Nogalas.  It met the onion-field working nomads outside of Ensinada, which was pretty exciting to say the least. 

Stateside, it visited the coasts of CA ( a handful spanning from San Diego to LA, to Irvine and back again).  Experiencing chocolate covered frozen bananas on Balboa Island, and the luxurious Hotel de Cornado, though not in the fashion one might have preferred.  It visited the beaches of Japan and 14K mountains, ski slopes and sand dunes, the atlantic, pacific, gulf of mexico and sea of Japan, Rocky Mountains and the Appalatian, historic castles and hot springs, blizzards and dust storms, Big Ben and Buckingham, weddings and funerals; refueling at Coffee shops on four continents and over a dozen states.  Stickers were used to record its journies, but the harsh environments stripped the bottle of these mementos. 

I wonder what the future holds for my next water bottle...
