hit the road.

absolutely refreshed & with a full day alone in b.a. at my fingertips i decided to explore a neighborhood that has been likened to the plateau in montreal called palermo. i wended the day away walking from park to park - taking a reading break here and there. there are parks everywhere & i lucked out with a gorgeous, sunny day. i traipsed my way through the botanical gardens & neighborhoods both delightful & delapidated. after over six hours of walking, my feet were about to turn their backs on me, so i headed back to the hostel. i afforded myself a quiet evening relaxing in the courtyard in the middle of the old converted mansion & met some interesting people from england, new zealand, and canada. i was relishing my time alone so i kept the socializing to a minimum & buried my head in my epic book - a welcome moment of calm after all of the movement.

the solitary miranda.

Miss Ro-ro:

Being a total blog-neophyte, I hadn't figured out the whole comments thing until now. Blonde hair. Forgive me. Anywhooo, just wanted to say "hola" and let you know that Miss Caity and I have been keeping up with your adventures. Peripatetic, indeed! You are a true adventuress and 'tis such a pleasure to hear about your travels.

Love you. Be safe, my little Canadian vagabond.
