Morning at the Sheraton Columbia Hotel. It’s clouded and foggy outside, there’s a beautiful view of a lake and a forest. We are in some strange hi tech and business area with really nothing but office buildings and huge chain outlet stores, by the looks of it.

Still all foggy by the absence of coffee and not enough sleep. I really wanted to write about Yesterday, but it was already 2:00 AM and I went to sleep. Sitting in the bath while Ned was on the computer. I was doing this math: Writing down everything that happened today will take about 3 hour, if I also want to download some photos and post them in the website, that’s probably about another hour, I also want to draw a bit, let say, another half an hour. And I still won’t be getting everything I want on paper file. However, if I wait till morning, not only I probably won’t have the time, but also, I forget a lot, not so much the other stories of places and people but that abstract feeling of how a moment is, and how I am in it.

I’m frustrated with the mapping program as well, because it can’t just register everything I want it to. I don’t know why documenting this journey is so important, but it feels right now that on every moment I spend on the road I would have to spend a moment writing about it, is it more important to document then to experience? Probably not, but then again, the documentation makes the memories, and somehow, making memories feels important now.
