Places or People?

>I recently had a discussion with a friend about whether places or people are more important and, while people will always matter more, I still can't say that the place doesn't matter. Right now we're sitting on a marble bench that scrolls on the ends and mapping our way to our next destination.

Maybe those thoughts don't seem to connect but for me they do. Because I said we. Because I could imagine sitting here alone looking at a map but I'd rather be with them. Because in a few months I will be exploring on my own and I will miss the poorly timed timer photos and having someone to tell me when my shirt is coming unbuttoned.

I'm trying to convince Alicia to come with me to California by singing songs and discussing wine country and I want that, especially now that Jonas is being transferred. I will always be willing to go places, do things on my own but I'd rather have the people I love walking next to me, marveling at the new sights and sounds and cheeseburgers. Speaking of, I'm wasting time typing when I should be walking through the park. So I'm signing off for now.
