The Roundhouse

So today, I went on the weirdest field trip of my life.  We went to this place called "the Roundhouse"  and let me tell you, it was quite the experience.  I don't even know how to describe it to you because it was just like something I've never seen/experienced before.  The lady that lives there gave us quite the story about how it was made.  She said that when she was younger she decided to go about living in a different way; going against the institution I think is how she put it.  She became a hitch hiker and she brought her stories to any one who would listen.  Through her travels she met a man who kind of became her groupie.  He later told her that he had money and decided to give it all to her.  She later had a couple "visions" that told her she needed to build a round house.  So that's what she did.  This house was crazy.  It had 4 stories and was FILLED with just stuff.  I think there was probably 20 beds in there and lots of secret passageways and little nooks.  And it was quite dusty.  And dirty.  And we couldn't wear shoes. 

Ok so here are some pics of Vanessa I took there!  They are definitely not my usual style, but I still really like them!
