I'm back!
The trip was really an amazing experience. It was both shocking and saddening to see all the poverty and other issues that exist in our own state of california, but I came away from the trip feeling empowered to do something about it, and also to make a difference in others' lives in smaller ways, even by just saying hello or smiling to people on the street. I also formed some new friendships and strengthened the ones I have, which I really hope I can hold on to throughout the summer and next year. It feels kind of strange to be home still, even though I came home on wednesday.
Here are some pictures from our time in san francisco, although not from the area we worked in (we were working in the tenderloin, which is a small, very poor, densely populated 25-block area in between union square and nob hill).
Now back to perusing mixwit for some new music to listen to. I'm also considering a nap.

(p.s. check out this mix, it's really good)

beautiful photos!
and as for the layout and header...for the header, i just took some pictures i found on the internet and put them into a collage on paint, then uploaded it onto my blog by going into layout and clicking on the banner part.
changing the background was a bit trickier...i searched for tutorials on how to change it which might be easier than me explaining it to you.
hope that helped, i'm sorry, but i am terrible at explaining things.
thanks!
ok, the header part sounds pretty simple, and i'll look up stuff about the rest of the page.
thank you! :]
You really captured the beautiful parts of SF. And I agree about the poverty. I guess its just cause its the urban city and not the suburbs.
