This was such a thoughtful introspective on travel memories and just living in the present. I love that you embraced all the new experiences and positive memories despite having a few rough spots along the way. I do often find myself making comparisons of previous trips and wishing I could get back those same memories, but it is so important just to be present in that particular moment. Thank you so much for sharing!

I currently finished a book called Horse by Geraldine Brooks. It is definitely one of my favorite books as I was not sure what to expect. It interweaves the story of black equestrians with contemporary working professionals struggling to form relationships due to racial microaggressions and misunderstandings. It is beautifully written, heartfelt, and based on a true story of a racing horse. I would highly recommend it!

As always, beautiful stuff, Kaitlin. I also read Tomorrow, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow recently -- and I agree, the characters are great. That also got me into watching The Last of Us, an HBO show based off a video game (which I've played), of the same name. That also has great characters, which drive the show; the apocalyptic zombies are just a sideshow :-)

Thank you, Sam! Rob just got me to finally agree to watch Last of Us (I am very very freaked out by zombies), but I'm definitely into the characters. Also in the video game genre - have you watched the Tetris movie on Apple TV? We really loved that. (And I'm not even a video game person!)
