US.XI.
I met this young man between Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and New York City. I forget his name but he was really enthusiastic about everything. Psyched to draw me pictures of and explain things about all sorts of boats and urban gardens. He was going to NYC and then Paris and then to work on a farm somewhere in rural France. His pack was as big as a house with all sorts of essential things hanging off of it. When we got to Penn Station [NYC] he was literally knocking people over because it was so crowded. I used to be like that somewhat. I travel as light as possible these days. Sometimes too light.
