I just got back from a trip to Mexico City, Ecuador, Peru, and Colombia. It was a great cultural experience, and with the backdrop of US politics (and myself being an American abroad during tumultuous times) I gained some perspective on it all. Thing is I can't quite pinpoint it, or describe it, it's more of a feeling. Kind of like Frank Ocean, I can somewhat describe his music, but it's just better to play "pyramids." The feeling is "pyramids." I don't have anything wise to say. I don't contribute to anything politically in any way. I see people post some remarkable things on facebook, or share worthy articles, or participate in marches and protests--I sit powerless in despair and self-loathing. But not anymore. I will embark on a cross country train trip for 32 days. I begin in Sacramento and have stays in Salt Lake City, Denver, Omaha, Chicago, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, DC, New York, and Boston. I hope to gain even more perspective on this trip and talk to people--this time Americans. On a lighter note, I hope to get drunk at least once in every single city. If you're up for joining me let me know! Also down for coffee, eating, and sightseeing!
