I went on a photo-taking excursion today, taking shots of the places where you’re most likely to find me if I’m not home. (Really, being in the city-center, I have everything I need within a short walk, so that’s nice.) I tried to explain everything in the captions so hopefully it all makes sense.

Once we move into our new (read: permanent) place on Monday (whoo hoo!), I will have to do it all over again, as I explore my new new stomping grounds.
