Yes, folks, I am here.
I got my license on Monday (it is Thursday) and I now have to learn to drive in Atlanta in an old green stick shift station wagon. Weirdly, I am really looking forward to it and becoming a better driver. If I can drive in the god awful traffic of Atlanta, I can probably drive a lot of other places as well. At least that's what my mom says. She and my grandma are here staying with me until Tuesday. Today, my mom and I got up at 6:15 to make it on the 7:30 shuttle bus to Atlanta. That was an hour. Then we took a Marta to some place else (I myself was half asleep, so I remember very little of this,) and then took another bus to my work. It was altogether a 2-hour trip. I'm not really happy with it, but if it's what I have to do, then that's that. Tomorrow we are actually driving (well I'm driving) into Atlanta to see how bad the trip is. That should only be an hour. That's half as long but twice as bad. Which route is better? I don't know. I'll let you know tomorrow.
Anyways the weather is awful (cloudy, chilly, and rainy--all day), so hopefully it will warm up. I'm dead tired but I think the overload of seeing all the family and my trip today and the knowledge (and mystery) of this Walkabout before me has gotten me going. Wish me good luck sleeping.
g'night---micha

Congrats on the license! It sounds like driving in Atlanta will be an adventure and half....how is negotiating the hilly driveway progressing? I'm looking forward to hearing about the mystery of the second walkabout (and how you end up getting to the location) as the weeks progress.
