Then you get in USA’s soils, you go Dairy Queen get some desserts make you best feel. Lol Love and Miss Pls care travel!

I remember our suggestion about timing in Cartagena to retrieve their camper and van (their homeaway from home for the next 7months)

Anyway, I’ve followed the majority of your posts; your unfashionable bland experiences in Canada, your issues in Kansas, what a tough place, such lack of “home-warmth”; your son’s test in Phoenix, his college acceptance, “my hat is off for such an accomplishment; your in-laws in Tampa, a time of normalcy; the dogs in Miami; the last night in Miami at Doral’s Walmart; the unbearable heat and steam in Cartagena; the blind hand taking you to the right places to quickly clear your car from customs in Colombia & getting your “transito libre”, your baptism in Cartagena with the “windshield police” (heck I”m from Colombia and that’s a first); the subsequent sense of not belonging, of being so far apart from “home”, the “human home” until the spirit of hospitality embraced you in the most inhospitable and humble of places (outside Cartagena); the death of one of your dogs; “lost in translation” trying to convey sking sealant tape or tape for cuts”; the Ecuadorian shock absorbers; the combis, the cellphones, the ATMs, the parqueaderos, the safety of it all!, my goodness; the laundry, the food; the garbage, the corrupt police, the beautiful architecture, the burning smell, the beautifull and refreshing Andes; the desert, the cuys, Puno, the wifi; Chile & driving back.
But overall this unrelenting capacity to go forward.

Many blessings and hope all goes well with this stressful part of the journey back home.
