Back Home!!! (for 10 days)

The view yesterday of the Siskiyou Mountains from Erin's studio over the top of our house

Our deck up here -- not too painful

After 2,600 miles, 4 weeks of travel, half a dozen campsites, a vacation resort, one hotel room and an apartment in Victoria, we're back in Erin's studio (on the second floor of the coach house). It feels at once as if we just left and we've been gone for ages. Perhaps one of the oddest feelings now that we're back is that we aren't in our house. It's a strange sensation returning home, but not really home. I liken it to heading back home after an extended trip and stopping at your neighbor's house, just shy of your ultimate destination. I keep repeating to myself my mantra for this journey: "When patterns are broken, new worlds emerge."

Stay tuned -- I plan on posting some more of my book.
