masterpiece {CHECK} sorry bad title!

On June 17^th I made it back to Duluth. I spent about 3 weeks trying to find a job and have now found a part time doing graphic design for a firm who makes promotional merchandise and as there catch phrase says “your logo on stuff” so that is going well, and I am also working at Barnes & Noble again. It has such a shock to come back to Duluth, it is so different here, considering I feel as there are not many people I know here, no independent theater, and my biggest obstacle, driving a car everywhere-except to the nursing home! I walk to the nursing home whenever I can to visit my grandmother. It is so wonderful to see her, in fact is so wonderful to see my family. I found out in the end the only thing I missed about the US (as this is a very common question) was my family and positively 3^rd street bakery! (cookies and organic bread for a buck!) So in the end where will the wind or the water or my own will take me? Who knows hopefully someplace not too warm, rainy at times and teaches me something new everyday, that’s what I ask for and good friends of course! I meet so many interesting and beautiful and friendly and loving people in the last year and I saw amazing things and experienced things as a fine Canadian one wrote, “don’t forget that there is only one of you and you are the only person who can experience life how you experience so just charge straight fucking ahead into life!” and that’s what I did and that’s what I try to do and that’s what I want to do more of. So here it is the travel journals mostly complete, I have trails and tribulations that did not make it into the typed version. If I see you in real life you may be able to jog my memory about something and I will relay the tale. I appreciate everyone in my life who has maintained their presence in my life, I appreciate you so much even if you don’t know it or don’t feel it. So here’s my story of 2 months of travel around Europe and the United States. And the blog, well maybe it will become my travels in my lifetime. Love you all lots and lots, and this is starting to look like a Minnesota Goodbye, dragging on and on so goodbye and love you all so much from the bottom of my heart with all my soul.
