Finding no one home at the apartment he was meant to stay at, he "found a dry spot, propped my luggage beneath me and fell asleep, the sound of drums softly shaping my dreams.

Across the street, a homeless man was washing himself at an open hydrant and didn't object when I joined him." picked by suebe 9 months ago tags Barack Obama Alley |
