Leaving Melbourne for familiar ground

Nearing the end of my journey, in many way to myself this was the end as I would soon be with familiar people, in a familiar place.

Flights reworked, bus to the airport, Broken bag, and resulting broken laptop.

SF, arriving at my brother's abode, a lovingly familiar place, something that almost feels foreign.

Lot's of sleep and a bit of laziness, perhaps my first chance in a while to do nothing.

So many old faces, how different could this be from just a bit ago?

Road trip up to Portland with my brother, such a different way to travel.

A lovely little house, AirBnB success.

Coffee, Donuts, Pizza, fun people, crazy movies, what a wonderful town.

Driving home through the red woods, weaving through the trees.

In Eureka we learn of a slide, our route is blocked for days.

Quick dark ride home, deep conversation, and some-In n-Out.

A bit more time in SF, and then back to life.

Beers, I show my annoying obsession, but choose a delicious beer, creme brulee stout
A burger and fires, one of their specialties, she declines, as well as my brownies
A vegan, but I don't mind, I'm completely taken

A lovely time, with more exchange
Plans for food another day
Vegan Brownies, and vegan dumplings for her, meat for me

A walk over the bridge, a beautiful night, a beautiful companion
Look over the water, weird lights in DUMBO, what could it be?
An artshow, people everywhere, giant bubbles to make

A walk along the water, contrasting worlds in Brooklyn
A stop at a watering hole to rest our feet, and moisten our parched lips
Walk down the dark streets home through Brooklyn

Good Night...
