There is no excuse for not having written earlier. Well, that's not true. There are a million excuses, reasons if you will, but I will spare you the excedingly boring details. Suffice to say that we leave tomorrow and the summer has been filled with over 6,000 miles in John's VW from San Francisco to Boston. Obviously we took the long route. In my defense, I had planned to use this site as a way to document the many adventures as we made our way across the country, but somehow that never happened.
So I guess you will have to take my word for it that the last month has been quite the adventure.. . from biking in Zion surrounded by orange buttes and impossibly blue sky; to running along the north rim of the Grand Canyon feeling like a Rave Run from Runner's World; to swimming in the turquoise, tepid waters of Alabama's Gulf Shores; to the variety of friends we saw along the way, both intentional and accidental; the stories piled one atop another. Luckily they're mostly documented on film for those of you with the patience to hear them all.
So tonight on this last night before we leave, I sit here in the Newton Public Library, rather than at John's dad's house, where I should be doing laundry and packing. I imagine it will all get done. It always does, doesn't it.
Here's to hoping that Jen Collett gets my email letting her know that we arrive in the Dominican Republic tomorrow, her first visitors in her new home.
