west

i spent 4-1/2 days in the bay area: sunnyvale, san francisco, san jose, berkeley, davis. i saw catherine at this yummy sandwich shop, then spent a couple of hours with daniel (and met his wife!, claire). getting back to san jose was more difficult than i anticipated, so i got picked up at the san fran airport. now i'm in la with my cousins. la isn't as strange as i expected, though perhaps that's because i haven't been to beverly hills yet.

i realized today that i haven't thought about anything remotely political since i left new york. i wonder what this means, if anything at all.

next: vancouver, on thursday night.
