WARNING: the following seems to contain only pictures of Amelia. That was not my intention when I started, but that seems to be how it turned out. We did take pictures of other things, I swear.
Follow the Kafka-Sebesta family as we finish the journey in high speed and fine style. Beginning in:
New York City! We took a day trip to the City to show Amelia punk life; here you see her hanging out on the floor of C-Squat.
My grandma and Amelia and Rocky.
Then down to Kentucky for exactly thirty-six hours:
More photos to come of this occasion.
And then, Kansas!
We stopped by Mushroom Rock on the way out of town:
I think I may have figured out the geology of Mushroom Rock. These were maybe giant pebbles — big enough that only the deepest and strongest ocean currents could move them, but maybe in this area of Future Mushroom Rock there were strong enough currents to tumble them around. Then the ocean went away, they washed up there, and the ground eroded under them. Maybe? I dunno.

A very intense painting at the art museum in Kentucky.
My father and I went for a hike in the Red River Gorge.

Grandmother and Amelia, sitting on the back patio waiting for the moon to rise.
The High Bridge at night. I got really lost in Kentucky trying to drive to Kroger’s and ended up here, at the highest cantilevered bridge over a navigable stream IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES. It was built by the same guy who built the Brooklyn Bridge, but he did a better job, because he didn’t die working on this one.

Kafka and crow communicate.
This painting is only interesting because it is an inferior reimagining of a painting at the Ringling Museum. As you can see, the perspective is really off in a bunch of places.
This painting was sort of amazing. The guy painted exactly the parts that you saw here and left the rest completely undone. It’s a picture of “The Expulsion of Hagar,” a rather depressing scene in the Bible, and my theory is that it reminded this artist of his childhood.
