Maps

I put a map of the world up in my room today. A few handfuls of places in the United States, a smattering of places in Europe, a few stragglers in Mexico and Central America. Some people's maps have just one pin - a singular pin to cherish, or resent. Others have thousands of pins and a thousand different stories to tell. I don't think everyone should be forced to travel, but if you have it in you, it's an unstoppable force.

I'm preparing myself for the next few months. Pioneer School starts the 20th, I'm going to Louisiana for a week in August, and I leave for Mexico in September. We bought one way tickets...If Puerto Escondido is all I think it might be, I just might have to linger...

I always like coming back home, though. I don't think I'll ever find a place I love as much as home. But I'll certainly let you know if I do.
