Hello again everyone :) This will be my means of communication on my travels. I can't promise I'll update daily, but my goal is at least weekly. After forty two hours of being awake that included watching and loving my little tiny neice Ava, packing my bags on the edge of sleepyness, realizing I wouldn't make it to bed, getting to the airport, saying goodbye to the fam, trying to shuffle my suitcase contents to avoid the huge overweight charge, flying to Atlanta, trying to collect stories upon my arrival, waiting, then flying to San Fran, CA, getting picked up by the lovely Krystal and Glenn... and finally taking a breather and hitting the sack.... It was quite a journey, then on Friday Glenn drove us up to Arcata.

It has been a bit of a whirlwind, but an enjoyable one. I was so excited to see the redwoods again! How wonderful. There really is something inside of me they awaken.

It's great too , to be back in Arcata. I feel like my internship is continuing... which is really exciting. I plan to take a hike today in the redwoods.
