My mind is fuzzy from jet lag and we did too much today to catch up on house and yard work. It's worth it, though, to experience new places and unique cultures and explore their natural wonders. I've been fortunate to visit twenty-nine countries and a lot of states. Each journey has offered something different and magical. Traveling, meeting new people, having adventures is deeply satisfying, yet I am always happy to come home.
The tour of the south coast of Iceland on Sunday ranks right up there next to the day I held a young panda in China in 2002. Climbing to the top of a waterfall, scrambling along a path behind another waterfall, splashing in a hot spring, clambering over a glacier, watching waves crash on a beach of black sand. All of that in one day!
Yet today was fulfilling as well. Two of our kids woke up in our house today. That only happens a few times a year now. My gardens are bursting with color: golden yellow stella d'oro day lilies, rich red snapdragons, lush pink begonias, graceful astilbe and deep purple clematis. I happily swam in 66 degree water in our backyard and discussed a delightful book with good friends.
All of my photos are downloaded and I've started the editing, but it will take a while. There are mistakes in the blog that I must correct too. Perhaps tomorrow.
