State College to Raleigh. Contrast.

Yesterday I woke up to a place covered in spongy ice, holding water that refused to freeze. Damp, dreary, and depressing. Monochromatic and uninspiring. I arrived in a place full of warmth and fervor of life. Within minutes I was on a run in shorts and a tshirt in a byzantine maze of town parks, bike paths and historic houses all framed in deep coniferous greens.
