BACK!

I have so many stories to tell you. I can't do it all tonight, so please forgive the jumps in time. I had a lovely time in Seattle. I made some new friends, I explored areas I had never seen, and I loved more than anything that I knew the basic way to most places.

Ummmm...Seattle? Exactly how many mentally ill homeless people do you need on your bus system? I'm not judging; just curious. I think you folks might agree with me when I say it's a bit intimidating to have fellow passengers scream and holler about their demons when all you want is to get to the grocery store.

Limited highlights to come: I ate Vietnamese food for the first time. I ate salmon for the first time. The boy bought me flowers for the first time. I went to a super-sized Japanese grocery for the first time.

Oh, and we're so going to have a conversation with American Airlines for my outward journey. Sweet crackers, that was ridiculous.

Last: It's hard to be back and get used to not having someone near me to talk with. I'm getting rather lonely.
