A year and a day

It's been exactly a year and a day since my last post here, and it seems fitting that I'm still writing about the South-- a different south to be sure, but not so different in all the ways we might think. Still on the road, this time exploring the southern parts of America: beginning in Raleigh and heading down to Florida and then out to Tucson by car; followed by a trip from Tucson to San Francisco (and possibly onward to Portland) by bicycle. Writing this here in a library in San Diego, I can't tell you how the story ends-- two months in to this three month odyssey, and I feel things are only beginning. And I apologize in advance; the opportunities to write are few and far between, and the photos will have to wait.
