Seven in the morning and reporting from Minneapolis, MN, my last stop in the US before finally stepping foot back in the city of my birthplace. It’s been a few hours since I’ve left Portland to Los Angeles (an airport I refuse to have a stop over in again — it’s huge and there are too many hoops to go through to get to a connecting flight) and now here I am. Note to self: no more red-eye flights....

Stamp, stamp away.
Also: here’s hoping I get the card I’ve been waiting FOREVER for in the mail tomorrow; and if not, I’ll still be going to LAX this Monday (whoop whoop) with a red-eye to Minneapolis come Tuesday.
Winnipeg, I can’t wait to be back.
