February 3/First visit to St Francis

My first morning at St Francis went really well. I spent most of my time conversing with people who were hanging in the courtyard area and at the picnic table. I sketched some of the people I talked with and Sylvester, a black and white cat that also calls St Francis home.

I mostly talked with men, but I did sit with one lady for a while and she seemed very reserved but complimented my hair. We mostly talked about prison, college, child support, baby mamas, drugs, Christianity and hope.
