ReplyDeleteWhat a bumper crop from the carpetbagger! I enjoyed reading your posts so much. Your descriptions of Land's End brought back many many memories. I hitchhiked in that part of the country while still in high school and the rain followed by the absolute glory of sunshine is back in my mind, clear as day. I remember the hills and the youth hostels always up at the top of a hill and well away from the main drag.
As a life-long insomniac I can relate to your mid-night agonies with the champion snorer. I have been there many times and truly feel your pain.
Finally, your envelopes--marital bliss, etc.--made me laugh out loud, more than once! You go girl. I love you both very very much.

Ashlee, if you are reading this, please call or email us: supper, while not as tasty as anything in Spain, is on us. I want to hear all of the stuff that wasn't fit for a posting. I want to see the photographs. I want to counsel you that you really didn't need to vomit to be a good traveler, that Joshua and Ellie embrace the extremes, and that includes treating one's stomach as if it were a chemistry lab. Please call!
ReplyDeleteYour posts made me smile and weep (just a little) and laugh and remember. What a great gift these writings are. Keep sending and they will be received with love.
