“Home”, sweet “home”
I made it to Oakland last night, after a long, crazy day driving from Blackfoot Idaho, to Oakland. On Tuesday, I’d driven through Yellowstone, which was quite wonderful. But I was getting tired, and cranky, and realizing that I was ready to be done already with this road trip, so I got up early, and drove long. I gained an hour along the way, which helped me get here just in time for dinner.
I’m a bit disoriented, and not quite sure which end us up. And, it’s HOT here, which I am not enjoying.
This is one really, really huge country - you realize how much space there is when you drive across it. In general, I had a good time, but I’m also quite ready to be here - to find my way to getting rid of those quotation marks.

Hey, Michelle! Welcome to Oakland! If you haven’t already found a church there, visit First Congo in Oakland (http://firstoakland.org/). It was my congregation when I lived there, and I think you may even find some people you know there. Lots of PSR folks. It’s a wonderful community.
Good luck settling in!

Thanks, Sarah! Actually, I’ve been to First Oakland before, and have liked it a lot.
I’m looking forward to finding varied communities here.
