Plainville, MA.

This morning I got off a train and rode my bike to Malorie's family's house. Meeting them has been incredible—the country here is beautiful, everything is virescent except the glowing purples and whites and reds of the different flowers. All along this trip I've been struck with wonder, How did I get here? And now that I am in Plainville, MA, I don't know how I ended up here, but I am glad I did. My time on this trip it wrapping up, it seems, for the time being—I fly out of Boston on Wednesday for a family reunion and my brother's wedding. I can't wait to see Boise again.

From Plainville, MA, this is Benjamin.
