In the past two months, I have lived in Brooklyn NY, San Antonio TX and now Los Angeles, CA. Additionally in that time, I have traveled through Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia (for a few miles at least), Tennessee, and Virginia. Brief recap of my recent travels: NOLA, much cleaner than pre Katrina but still kinda seedy at the same time. Would totally go back, no question. MS and Bama, well there's not much going on from what I can tell but I also just kinda passed through so I'm no expert. TN was AMAZING! I absolutely loved it and WILL be going back. Great music, great people, great sight seeing - mother nature was good to TN. Virginia is also great and I am dying to see DC in the spring and yes I realize that DC is not technically VA.
Needless to say, I'm exhausted but completely struck by the way this life twists and turns without you ever suspecting it will but enjoying every hairpin curve along the way. I'm hoping I get tossed into a foreign country soon. Yes I need a passport and yes I'm going to get one... I promise!
So back to my point... I'm back... to normal... in California and what's the first thing I want to do (besides seeing all my friends and family, of course) ... go to the beach! Do I care that it's the middle of "winter"?(I use that term loosely b/c really, come on, we don't have a winter in cali). No I don't care. At all. I wanna feel the sand in my toes, hear the sound of the waves crashing and watch the sunset. Totally worth moving across the country and then moving back to really appreciate! Yes, I'm special... I know.
