zenmondoOne thing I don't like about living in Wyoming is that I pretty much stay where I am. This trip has allowed me to travel, and I love to travel, I like going places, and being around other people heading somewhere.
Its for this reason that I like going to the flying J Truck Stop, they are always off the highway and crowded with people going somewhere. A hundred little adventures waiting to be written.
So the aerodromes I visited on my way here (oh for those readers that did not see my friend lock post, I traveled this week to California to surprise me mom for christmas) on the way out was like that. Casper was kind of small and low key, but I was around people going somewhere, though not that far. Walking through the terminals in Salt Lake city was much more exciting. The vibe of people with a purpose -- they were fellow travelers like me. Nearly everyone I saw was going somewhere, looking forward to whatever stories they would play out when they got there.
Yesterday, I traveled to San Francisco to meet in the real world, someone I have collaborated with in the virtual world of Second Life for more than a year and a half. I was gonna take Amtrak, but my mother offered to drive me to the BART station in Dublin and I took that train into the city. Again I was with travelers, this time on a smaller scale, but with a common destination, traveling the way god & queen intended on rails of steel.
I had a wonderful time in San Francisco, got flirted with at a museum (though I had to have this pointed out to me after the fact, drat) but all too soon I was on BART again on my way back to Dublin.
One more full day left in California. Tomorrow is Aikido training which I am really looking forward to then at 3 am I leave Stockton, head to the Aerodrome in Sacramento to arrive 2 hours early for my 6am flight.
