heading home

i leave for charleston in 3 hours.
the trip was filled with lots of coffee, great vegetarian cuisine, and lots of time to catch up with old friends.
it was wonderful seeing bekah and carly. its been about three years since we lived in England together. they let me crash on their couch one night and filled me with wine and homemade bread. carly gave me bangs! yesterday, bekah showed me around downtown ballard, which is a very eclectic town and definitely worth visiting.
jessie was a wonderful host and graciously took me in for almost the entire week.  we visited all of her favorite local joints (in the bowl, gorditos, gypsy coffee, zoka) and spent hours catching up while walking all over the city.
downtown was not my favorite place, but the little towns that surround it are the gems of the northwest.
i loved ballard, wallingford, and capitol hill.
it was a wonderful spring break, but i'm glad to be heading home to seventy degree weather.
