It was 99°F when he stepped off the bus.

He didn’t worry much about the heat.

He was just happy to be here.

His camera hung around his neck.

He grabbed his luggage from the curb.

He turned around and snapped a picture of the bus before it pulled off.

He looked up at the sky.

It was beautiful despite the heat.

He snapped a picture.

This was his first time away from his hometown.

He was more than a tourist.

This was the beginning of his new life.
