I miss you! This was awesome and ...yo, rock star! I miss you! This was awesome and made me reallllly grateful that I get to climb into bed tonight. And not eat every part of a goat. Or mare's milk. Ever.<br /><br />I'm wondering, is there a place to send you stuff along the way? An embassy? A post office? I have several memory cards I can forward to you. And maybe some anti-nausea stuff and some immodium for future "complications." Let me know and I'll firs this stuff off asap. Think of it as fair trade for my yummo vannila jasmine tea (which I am totally rationing and have had only once).<br /><br />You know, while I was in England, I noticed that a lot of time is spent just hanging out with each other. People just drop by and visit... for hours. Even at the little place that we were renting. Even when I was there by myself! Even when they didn't even know me! It was awesome. I think there's something to be said for being with people, and really being with them.<br /><br />One of my (newly minted) brother-in-law's friends builds sailboats and recently bought an old mill on the water. It's three stories, plus the functional equivalent of an attic on top. Each floor is well over 12-15 feet, and the building is hundreds of years old. Where the wall was falling apart, they knocked all of the weak stuff out and used those pieces and others salvaged from the site to reconstruct the walls. Daz is having a friend of his who specializes in historic restoration build new rafters and beams to maintain integrity and authenticity. This means that Joe has to hand hew all of the special curves and arches. It's a thing of beauty, and a testament to what matters. It's not about building something fast and cheap, but rather building something that will last for generations to come. It took my breath away, even before I scaled three flights of scaffolding to get to the top. Between you and me, I felt like quite a badass when I was at the top... but it all pales in comparison to the robust nature of your adventure and your lived experience. Rock right on.<br /><br />I'm off to bed.
