On the way home...

We are about a third of the way home. Leaving, as usually, was more complicated than we had planned on. A couple of people had mentioned a restaurant which had great seafood, so we went out for our last lunch (I expect we won't be having hotdogs at our house for a while). Then, when we went back to our hosts home to pack, I noticed that a tire was low. One of the wonderful things about driving around in neighborhoods where many of the homes have had all of the drywall pulled out is the number of nails laying in the road - and one of them found it's way into our tire. So, after packing, we sat for an hour getting the one tire fixed and the other three checked.

Our last stop at the church for goodbyes took a little while, but we had expected that. Some of the people there had been our constant companions for the last 24 days. We finally got on the road and arrived at the hotel about 8:00 p.m. - just in time for a nice, long soak in the hot tub! After that, and a good nights sleep without alarm clocks, we are ready for the final leg of the journey home.
