Wow, that's cool, I may have to read that. I would like to believe that what you long to do and what Julia did in France is exactly what I have done in Houston. No, Houston is not nearly as exotic and lovely as France, but it is a world apart from Philadelphia and I have embraced it whole-heartedly. I have thrown myself into my photography and building a community around me and it is wonderful. I am not bored yet with exploring this awesome city and its people. I'm sure I will be some day.
