Into Salt Lake City
Lots of salt marshes and desert. This, my first attempt at blogging, is a work in progress. Uploading photos, sifting through archives in Adobe Photoshop, labeling pictures, and creating a story is time-intensive. Time has been the most costly resource for me of late. There is much that needs to be amended and edited in this blog. It's completion, if that comes to a fruition, may take months or longer. Before you explore this blog, let me warn you that I may still be considered crazy for making this and other trips. Still, you only live once, if you don't suffer some sort of reincarnation.
So let me explain the blog title. The "western rectangle" is a path from Reno to San Francisco to Los Angeles to Flagstaff to Reno that roughly, very roughly resembles a rectangle. Rather than simply going in circles, which I seem inadvertently to do all the time, I choose to travel in a rectangle on my "journey." Traveling isn't simply about making a vacation, although members of my own family still confuse "traveling" and "vacationing." Traveling or journeying is about discovery, not pursuing the ultimate in luxurious leisure. However, there is something to be said for that, also. My chronicle below
is barely complete, and will be written in retrospect from my diary notes. During my actual journey, I neither had the time, tools, or leisure to successfully complete my blog for this "West Coast Journey." That "on the blog experience" will have to come on some future venture.
April 4th, 2011: I arrived in Reno at 6:00 pm, and missed my pick up ride at the airport. The plane arrived late and the luggage was delayed.
April 5th, 2011: After a full day of interviews, practice teachings, and meeting with staff, I am driven to my hotel, the Tropicana. I knew that I will not be offered the job when the headmaster wishes me well for my future. I will spend another night at the Tropicana, and tomorrow set off for Lake Tahoe and California.
