Mio Cuore
September 15th, 2006 | Posted by Shannon
On the eve of my departure to another land, I am happy. Happy to be traveling somewhere else, but at this moment, I want to send a little shout-out to my home. Ocean Beach, California.
It’s a special place that calls out to you and reminds you before you even depart, about how awesome it is. I love the end of summer here. I love that I go out for my morning walk and wave at people I know three times at 8:00 in the morning. I love that I can go to the Vine and get lessons on life, and when I walk home the palm trees are blowing but there is also a hint of winter in the air and the smell of fireplaces and fish at the same time. I love that I love this place I call home, and I love that, for this moment, I totally belong here. And I love that I know this.
It’s very strange to some, talking about your home as if it was your lover. But it’s the only way to live, for me, at least. Or, as they sing in that Wilco song, Distance has a Way of Making Love Understandable.
I’ll post from the road.

Shannona!
We are (impatiently) waiting for posts from the road. 😉 Hope your travels have been smooth, and your first destination is everything you’d hoped it would be. Aren’t you glad you didn’t take the big ass suitcase?! Hi to your mom.
Fondly, your pals at SlowTrav.
