Postcard from Elk Grove

Postcard from Elk Grove

So, like, I said–I’m from California. More specifically, Elk Grove: the fastest-growing city in America in 2006 and land of cookie cutter homes, baseball fields, golf courses and strip malls. It’s also home to wetlands, pastures, creeks and streams–and so. Much. Good. Sky.

One of the things that I believe in most is that you don’t have to travel across the world to see something beautiful. When I was traveling through the Central Highlands in Vietnam on the back of a motorcycle, I couldn’t stop smiling because of how gorgeous the surrounding scenery was. But I also realized that the open green fields and wetlands reminded me of home.
