I made you guys a map:

But to read it, you’ll have to look at this link: http://postimg.org/image/y4qdqt4ol/full/

because, for reasons I don’t fully understand, I made the writing so small you could see it, but not understand it unless you zoom all the way in.

I’ve been thinking a lot about maps this week– I can’t read them!  I can read almost everything else, but why not maps?  And then, this week, Steve Carr told me I should make a MAP of my project papers which made sense but was also so funny.  Really, I wanted to draw a picture of the car that was going to drive me where I needed to go, but a map?  A map seems beautiful, but useless.

And then I needed to study a subway map of a city I’d never been to in order to figure out what neighborhood I should stay in that was closest to the subway line that took me where I needed to go.  And my head nearly exploded.  I tried to compare the subway map to the neighborhood map to the street map.  Eventually, I had to get someone else to read it for me.

So, I decided I should make a map.  Full disclosure: I did not make that watercolor.  The story of where I got that map is on the map itself.  I couldn’t figure out how to make a map except to make it nearly illegible, and not in any particular order.  If I really wanted to make it accurate, I’d have it switch to its mirror image every so often to throw you off even further, but that is beyond my scope of knowledge.
