look right first

my time here has been wonderful. it's been good in probably all of the ways. actually, the word "good" is a terrible understatement. as i was attempting to describe to others i've spoken with since here, i feel so exhilarated. not because i'm in this new, crazy big and bustling city, but simply because i'm finally somewhere other than the two states i've lived in for 20 years of my life. i've said before that i felt like this trip was very much overdue, but all i can say now, in the present, here, is that i am so happy to be learning, seeing, experiencing, satisfying all the senses in this way. i wouldn't even trade the airport experience for anything. 
travel. what a seriously outrageous, profound thing.
here are some initial images from my journey so far.



another unforgettable michigan sunset and departure dinner with kirk
saying difficult goodbyes and beautiful hellos at the airport


absolutely the coolest part to flying. being a part of the sky.

35, 000


taxi from the airport

google map screen shot of what will be my home for the next 5 months
my bedroom window, third floor

stair case detail. i hope to get broader photos of the house up soon.

nighttime repetition
getting lost with katlin.

really happy to be here with her.


the architecture, all of it 
aha, my first ever alcohol purchase. peroni beer at a lovely pub in surbiton.
