I am currently sitting in my best friend's new apartment, looking out
into the woods. Indiana is humid and makes me feel as if I can't breathe
every time I step outside. The people are so different here now. Everything
has changed, but not for the better. I miss the old five year old days when
drugs weren't a problem and people would prefer roller skating and playing
in the backyard rather than sitting around popping little pills and running
around getting into serious trouble. Friday I took the train up to Chicago
and spent about three hours dodging traffic and trying to keep up with
my bicycling partner. We stopped at little art galleries and ate pizza in
the hipster part of town. He showed me more of the city in three hours
than I ever saw in the twelve years that I lived in Indiana. I have two more
days of this horrid weather and then I am heading back to health conscious
and beautiful skies of San Francisco. I am beginning to miss the fresh
mountain air and more so my bicycle! I don't think I will be coming back
to Indiana any time soon but I would very much like to go to Chicago
again, maybe in the winter time, when the weather is beautiful and
snow fills the streets, rather than sticky and gross! There are so many
wonderful things that I want to share, but I am going to wait until I get
back to my own living quarters so I can tell the tales with photos! I
hope you are all not having to go through this humidity in the Midwest.
