Ho Hey

So much to share! I have been without a computer for a bit, so the stories, adventures, insights have accumulated beyond the capacity to share them all. There are many pictures that in reality may tell the best parts anyway, so look to the pictures to understand the essence of the last few weeks. There has been lots of laughter, happiness, joy and personal insight. (to say the least)



The sequence of events/travel goes like this:

Vancouver to Vancouver Island and Victoria.

Victoria up to Courtenay, Campbell River, and Cortes Island.

Journeyed back down to Victoria to take the Clipper ferry to Seattle to meet up with Mom and Sandy.

The three of us stayed in Seattle, went up to Vancouver, and back to Seattle.

Then, they left and I headed out to Whidbey Island to house sit a farm.

I recently just arrived back at Lorraine and Chris' house in Kirkland where I'm regrouping.

I'll slowly be making my way back down towards the Bay Area in the next few weeks and

The time has come for me to start planning for my departure to Asheville, North Carolina next month where the next phase of this life's epic journey continues.



all the love,
