Summer 2003.

I had been teaching about seven years and believe it or not, most summers my lack of funds prevented most travels. But this particular summer I decided I needed this road trip and stayed with/visited several friends in Oregon and Washington and ended the trip spending a couple days roaming through San Francisco. Spending time with friends, seeing how they were dealing with their own challenges helped get me out of my own little bubble and really helped me through my own challenges. That's one thing I love about travels, getting to see how others live and enjoying simple things like long conversations with them. Thanks.
