Fall Retreat (revisited)

Jill let me grab her nifty camera and take a shot of this amazing tree up at Ponderosa Pines.
Here's the caption she wrote when she posted it for me on facebook:

"Becca thought this tree was spectacular, so she took a picture."



How true.

Today I...

~ Woke up early...6:30AM
~ Carpooled with those involved with the "Life Without Parole" production up to the Women's Prison in Chino
~ Made it there in about 30 minutes after getting Starbucks
~ Got cleared for security
~ Performed the thus said play for around 400 inmates
~ Cried a lot
~ Had a Q&A/response time with the inmates, several of whom were domestic violence survivors and had their stories directly represented in the dialogue of the play
~ Cried even more.
~ Left the prison and got lunch...starting the road home around 1:30pm.
~ Found out that my hometown is on fire. Thank God, my parents are safe right now
~ Made it back to Vanguard around 6:30pm (yes, that's a 5 hour drive).

~ am completely exhausted.

Yeah, clearly it's been one of those boring, typical days in my life...
