no ceiling

There is a unique power and excitement in drawing the world with one's own hand. As if you have created it. In some ways you have, for at the end of the day all that you do, did, will do: sight,stories,inventions,geography are what you make of it.

It is this last point-what you make of it- that caused us to draw the map in the first place. We thought of the places we should inhabit. We looked to all of the continents. They all have their charms. We picked Buenos Aires. We packed the house into four 5'x8'x7' boxes. We left at midnight February 5th.

We have:
A backpack with sleeping bag, tent, stove, etc.
Suitcase with clothes, toiletries, stack of books, router, all-in-one printer.
Carry-on with laptop, 330 gig external hardrive, cellphone, camera, bag full of cables.
