More on that story as it develops.

I thought briefly about maybe writing these experiences in a separate site. I do it solely because it helps me process on it, and remember it later, and work through a handful of many experiences that do begin to slide like grains of sand through the hands. While I have done written long trips in other spaces before, there is truly something about the comfort of one’s own home. Even as a blog home.
