The first week of August, my family and I took a long overdue trip to Charlevoix, Michigan. This city is very dear to my Dad because he spent many of his childhood summers here. The entire trip was filled with crazy stories, some of which may have been illegal, as my dad and his siblings relived old memories.

Tyler Olson’s “cruising and boozing” around Uzbekistan through virtual exploration could never truly be a substitute for physical traveling.

During the short time that he spent roaming, or more accurately scrolling, around the city he claims that he was able to visit the most central locations and yet avoid, the dreaded, human interaction

so excited to be able to go. When we arrived at the stadium we walked passed sections 340-360. I could only see the field through little like doors. Through those doors i saw the perfectly cut outfield grass. I love seeing the grass for some reason.

The next inning I saw the Florida Gators pitcher Alex

understanding of this chapter in The Things They Carried. “Field Trip” focuses on Tim O’Brien, his daughter Kathleen, and an interpreter returning to the field mainly for O’Brien’s sake of attempting to find redemption.

This field trip taught me a great deal about the real consequences you can get for doing something awful. The saying "you do the crime, you do the time" real counts if you see their circumstances. The things that I learn about the people in there are some insane and something I will never forget. I assume everything I learn in there will stick with me forever. Those people live in Miami it's not like they live somewhere else that can happen to anyone it's nuts what you heard and feel. The courthouse

I also really enjoyed going on that tour inside the castle, it was really interesting on how the rooms were laid out and what people even wore. It was
