I'm doin it

Hello! First post! In the Atlanta airport. Brought too much stuff. I look really badass with my 5 foot long backpack plus a duffel bag on each shoulder though. When I assembled myself in that configuration, I felt really strong. At the same time, I feel like a total priss. Need to get less dependent on stuff - a big goal of this trip. It was difficult to balance a very varied itinerary plus my precautious nature, i.e. "I better bring five bottles of sunblock because they might not have SPF 50 in Brazil..." (I ended up with two bottles of sunblock.) I will throw things away if necessary. Don't need much. Have my head, and my heart. Both are pretty good. Both will get better.

kisses, Katie
