We’ve been here three months today. Things have shifted and changed, so we will likely be heading out in two weeks or so.
We’ve loved being here. As always we’ve loved the kindness and generosity of our hosts and of the locals.
We’ve gotten caught up on hundred and hundreds of photos; we caught up on nine months of journal-writing; and we finished our incredible project of bring out nine hundred pages or so of journals, turning them into three ebooks.
We are thrilled at our productivity.
We are sad that we didn’t get to see more of the area. It’s well worth another visit.
We’re not sure what our plans are now. We think, if things go as we hope, that we will cross the border in Brownsville and take a bus to Lagos de Moreno in Jalisco, Mexico.
We’ll spend the next four to six months living in Lagos de Moreno, continuing to write the books that didn’t get done here, and learning Spanish. Chelsea calls it our “soft landing” to the international south-of-the-border phase of our trip.
Whatever it is and wherever we go, we know it will be satisfying and enriching, if not downright thrilling.
