Day 9: Arrival!

I'm here!

Katharine and I arrived at my Dad and Louise's house around 5:00 on Sunday. It was pretty bizarre being in my car, with my friend from the east coast, rolling up to their house. Kind of like the worlds collapsing. For several miles before we got there I just kept muttering things like "I've been here so many times but never in my own car" and "I can't believe we're actually here" and I'll admit I was a little teary once I was able to give my dad a hug.

But the truth is that in some ways it still doesn't feel real. Katharine and I did some sightseeing around San Francisco on Monday before I took her to the airport. Now, I'm just waiting for my flight back to Boston. Arriving somewhere I'm used to traveling to after all this is a little unnerving.

I have lots more pictures to share and some concluding thoughts on the trip but I need to work on apartment related issues. More to come...
