Autumn Travels in the Bay Area

I travel for school these days.  I explore. I romp around the streets of San Fran, Berkeley, Oakland, Alameda, and thensome.


Vesuvio Bar next to City Lights Books
 I visit the old literary haunts.
Half Moon Bay
I go on adventures with friends to places I've been meaning to go to for so long.

 I enjoy the company of my classmates.
Dia de los Muertos, The Mission

Overall, this gypsy life style is intense.  I wonder if I'm too old for it, too old for the sleep overs at friends, too old for carrying everything on my back, and too old for new explorations.  Then I wonder if it's just a "this American life" dream that makes me feel so tired.  Then I wonder if part of me just lingers behind with my grandpa.  Last, I wonder if I just need some sleep at the end of so much romping about.

Thanks for sharing, Cristy Rose, phd candidate. It seems like a good shot at life well lived to me. To me, you're full of passion and so sincere. Good luck on the ramble.

much thanks, kai. because you yourself are a glorious rambler, your post means a lot to me. i'm also simply honored you paused here for a moment in my little nook called "cristy rose hips."


cheers to a life well lived full of passion and sincerity! ... oh, and whimsy too.
