What I Did During My Summer: A Photoessay

I found out what allergy season feels like in Eugene.

I finished my first year of grad school.

 I went home.

I came back.

 I attended a wedding between two lovely people under an old tree.

I went adventuring in Oregon with some nifty people.

 I celebrated my first year in Eugene.

 I went to the coast.

 I got lost.

 The fun kind.

I took a few flights.

I took a lot of flights.


I found out what it means "to be sent to Coventry."

 I followed a giant Godiva puppet to a theatre conference.

 

I panicked before my presentation. 

 It went fine.

I went to Stratford-Upon-Avon. 

 

I visited Shakespeare's Birthplace.

 

I took pictures of swans.

and Phonebooths.

I saw theatre.

 I got lost again.

i found hope.

 And old friends in very old places.

 I fell in love with Edinburgh.

 I explored Old Town and New Town.

II walked around a lot.

Uphill mostly.

And got very, very lost.

The not fun kind.

And just when I approached exasperation, I would turn around and see this...

and realize that I wasn't lost at all. 

I was right where I needed to be.
