By our third day in the Bay Area, we found a spacious Oakland apartment that's reasonably priced and within 30 minutes of my job.

We were parked across from a park in Berkeley when I snapped this shot. We had been considering another rogue night in the car to keep expenses low, but the nearby park was full of a combination of drug-addicts and homeless lifestylers that you certainly never seen in New York. Not to belittle the strife of many homeless people in the Bay Area, but it seems like many young kids our age decide to life off the grid and in the parks. We ended up finding a last minute Air B&B in Oakland...<br />

Our wonderful hosts, <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1456898?s=TxFM#summary" target="_blank">Morganne & Cesar</a>, made us feel at home and helped in our search, eventually narrowing our search down to the Oakland area. Their sweet son, Valentino, and the garden view were certainly highlights (whoops, no photos!)<br />

Waking up refreshed at the cabin. Stephanie and Matt, pictured above, made breakfast. Matt is a Brooklyn native who rode his bike to California (where Stephanie hit him with his car, and the rest is history!). Coincidentally, Stephanie's Uncle Paul traveled the world on his bicycle years back. And I thought our road trip was tiring! See pictures from Matt's trip on he and his friend's Instagram: http://instagram.com/gnarmads<br />

When in Indiana, we noticed a couple and their Vermont plates from a previous rest stop and asked them where they were headed. They told us they were going to see Amma, an Indian hugging saint, outside of Chicago before heading to the Rainbow Gathering in Utah. Her hugs are considered a blessing, so we decided to check it out after Chicago.<br />

The event was at the Ma Center in Elburn, Illinois, a rural area just West of the suburbs. People from near and far came to fill this auditorium and hug Amma. They could buy offerings, such as those pictured above and below.<br />

In order to hug Amma, you had to have arrived much earlier to collect a token, so we just watched. Assistants on stage collected offerings and helped the pilgrims get on their knees to embrace her while a video crew filmed the entire event.<br />

Tom was sitting in front of where we parked the car in Chicago. A Cape Cod native, and blues musician, we chatted about the color of his hair, symbolic of intuition, and a movie he's making about homelessness (which, by the way, we saw a lot of in Chicago). You can see his Facebook page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GodOfMyHeartCommunications?ref=stream" target="_blank">here</a>. <br />

After over a year in South America, I moved back to my parents' place in the New Jersey suburbs to start the fiance visa process for Raul. Sure, it wasn't easy to go from total independence in a foreign country to the squareness of my childhood bedroom, but it also wasn't as shameful as most Americans take it to be. In fact, it was a blessing to live with my mom, dad and sister, Rosalia, again (I call it the "bonus round"). Raul soon joined our home, and between hundreds of ping-pong games with pap<span class="st">á</span> and countless <i>sobremesas</i>, he truly became a part of the family. These goodbyes were the hardest I've ever known. Now that we embark on our journey westward, we are grateful to our friends and family for the celebrations we shared and the support we receive on our new venture. San Francisco, here we come!<br />

Papi, these photographs are dedicated to you (o sea, solo las buenas)-- your dedication to photography is my inspiration. You can see his daily photo postings <a href="http://andrespalomino.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

Mami, there is no one in the world more supportive than you. We'll miss your company and I'm sure Raul will compare everything I cook to your delicious food! Lucky me.<br />

The thing about saying bye to a dog is that you don't know how much they understand. Mona was nervous seeing all the boxes and packed bags, hopefully her memory is short enough that she won't miss us too much! I know we will.<br />

It was so fun seeing Rosalia and Raul, the two Tauruses, getting to know each other. These stubborn, loving creatures became the best cu<span class="st">ñ</span>ados. <br />

I have to quote what Rosalia wrote on her Facebook for me, because I couldn't have said it any better: <span class="fbPhotosPhotoCaption" id="fbPhotoSnowliftCaption" tabindex="0"><span class="hasCaption"><br /><i>In
the midst of growth and transition, family is our heart, our temple,
and where we owe all of our gratitude. As you make your trip cross
country to San Francisco, Alex, I am overwhelmed with the thought that
we won't see each other every day, but I know that you are me and I am
you because we come from the same root. Your accomplishments are mine,
and my accomplishments are yours. I am so proud of my hermana. </i>I love you to the moon and back!</span></span><br />
