Location: Tucson, Arizona

Back from a short visit to visit Liz in Denver. Had a lovingly lovely time with her, and had a chance to cruise down to Taos for a couple days to support her interview for midwifery college. I spent most of that time in Toas sick as a dog, so sadly didn't see any old New Mexico friends. Next time.

Now I'm back in Tucson and it's been a bit of a hard landing. This pic was taken as I arrived back at the van in the Airport long term parking. From a beautiful woman in a warm bed and a house with all the amenities of life... to a cold dark half-empty parking lot and empty van.

It's always a hard transition back to this journey that I'm determined to finish.

Yesterday morning I drove out to the Arizona countryside to pick up Moses at the ranch I left him at. He was stoked to see me, and he eased my pain as he jumped up through the van's window before I could even open the door. Almost as if to say, "I'm ready dad! Let's get this show on the road!" Road life would be unbearable without him.

Spent the last two days finding my bearings, and visiting a Tucson walk-in clinic where I was again diagnosed with strep throat. So back into the antibiotics!

Found a $1.50 shower, a place to sleep in the van, and some groovy little coffee shops to work out of. So life is returning to "normal". Next on my list is to get healthy, takes some crash Spanish courses, and locate and buy a SPOT satellite tracker to put my dear sweet mothers mind at rest while in Mexico.

peace,
