The next phase…

Back in SF for a couple of weeks before moving to the UK. Busy catching up with friends, and logging some internet time looking at flats in Edinburgh. It’s nice to see everyone, but I know without a shadow of a doubt that I don’t live here anymore. The streets seems quieter, but everything else is still the same…surly people who barely look at each other, that don’t move when you say “excuse me”, that sit across from each other at the dinner table but don’t have a conversation. Who are these people? People in the east seems so much happier and are always smiling, despite the fact that most of them have very little money. So why are people in the west killing themselves for the almighty dollar, when it’s obvious that they’re miserable?

The past 5 months has been fantastic, everyone that I met, laughed with, loved with, listened to music with, ate and drink with! I saw many amazing sites, of the man made and natural kind, but it was the folks that I met along the way that made it! I now realize that everything that happened in the past year and half, starting with NZ, happened so that I could take this trip and move to Edinburgh. Part of me wishes I could stay on the road forever, but I cannot ignore the signs. The universe kept reminding me along the way that I am due in the land of rolling green hills. On September 1st 2009, I will officially leave San Francisco and move to my new home. I will undoubtedly freeze my arse off and get sick of the rain, but I will have all of the necessary gear…wellies and a mac are going with me!
