As a reminder of the world we are returning to, as opposed to the world we are leaving, we are discussing the dearth of health care in the United States – telling horror stories about hospitalizations and bills, and qualifying for Medicaid on freelance income, and doctor shortages in TX and MA. America, America. See you soon.

all’s well that ends well
The US Artist Initiative is over – the blog will continue to exist as an archive of interviews conducted with all the participants each year, but won’t have daily updates.
I return to Chicago tomorrow, and then have just a few days there before moving to Baltimore. Today is a free day for me in Wroclaw. I’m going to wander around and see what there is to see that isn’t theater.
My roommates and I are packed, sitting in our living room discussing politics. It will be strange not to live with them any more – it’s been almost a month. One is on her way to Minneapolis, then Istanbul, the other to New Jersey. I don’t know when I’ll see them again, although being on the East Coast gives me hope that I can keep in touch.
This trip has been – this trip has been. It just has.
I think I’ll know more about what its impact has been on me a few years from now. I don’t know now. I know I am returning to the US with B’s Polish-English dictionary in my backpack.
