Greetings Friends,
Well this is my last blog for Baja, Mexico, soon the
internet will be gone, (we need to turn in the modem to the phone company). The
reservations for the hotels along our route home have been made, and the
packing is nearly done. We gained so much stuff that we are shipping home a few
boxes. My dog got a new wonderful doggie bed, which is very, very large, but
fits him just perfect and he loves it, we decided it would be nice for him to keep it plus just stuff. Along with the process of packing and leaving the house here, it has been
the saying good-bye to the new friends we have made and the last taste of food
at the favorite restaurants. I’ve not taken my last walk on the beach yet and
our view of the ocean all these months will be missed. There has been wonderful surprise to our stay
here and much that has inspired me. For all my GMUUC and GA Mtn. Family
friends, I will see you April 21th. We plan to be home the 18th trusting
that the weather is kind to us and we can make our ride trip as planned.
I find it hard to write this…I think I have already talked
about my experiences here so much that you must be bored with them by now. For most of our time we did get into a rhythm of
activities from beach walks, art classes, restaurants, sightseeing and trips to
San Diego. So, really it has been one long vacation, but in saying that it has
also been so much more. A chance to really connect with people here, see the
seasons change from fall, winter to spring. Find a kind of inter strength that
comes from living in a foreign country. There are so many little challenges I
didn’t realize I would have to navigate. Just like most vacations as they come
to a close you hope you will return and you are renewed by the experience. I am
grateful that we have internet and know that I will stay in touch with some of
my new friends. Thank you to all the people who enriched these past few months,
each of you have been a blessing to my life.
I will write when I get back home and tell you all of my homecoming! Hugs, AJ
