Day 357

Today I left Isla Vista for good. I love shoes, so as a final farewell it seemed fitting to leave a pair. I got these right before coming to IV, and after 3 years they are, not unlike IV itself, trashed, grimy, and full of character. I couldn't think of a better final resting place than over the heads of a new generation of drunken revelers. 

I've been living in a bubble for the last three years and it's been amazing. It was most definitely an experience and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I feel like I'll work for the rest of my life trying to move back to Santa Barbara.
