I know I shouldn’t complain. I did get to spend three months living the dream exploring Asia, but it has been two years since I last got out of Wisconsin (Chicago excluded, they are too close to count as travel). This year everything worked out perfectly for me to get out to Arizona to visit my Grandfather in Sedona, and my brother in Phoenix. I just arrived in Phoenix and I already feel a great pressure lifting off my shoulders. I was not meant to be a stationary person, I’m hyped and ready to explore. Not to mention this Texas baby feels perfectly at home in the desert.
I’m writing this from a coffeehouse with a garage door entrance. I think that is a super trendy fun way to make a building (also incredibly popular in Thailand). In Milwaukee we only have those at a very small number of bars, and they aren’t actually open that often…stupid cold.
