Travel

Travel.

It's tiring.

Hurry up to sit and wait.

 

It amazes me that we can board an airplane

and in 2 1/2 hours cover the distance that would

take nearly 20 hours by car.

 

 

And we can drive in 20 hours the distance it would have taken

the Pioneers weeks to travel.

 

We left our home in the Northwest

and traveled to the desert.

Las Vegas --

It's brown.  You can see for miles!

The land is not flat, but it appears much more flat than

what we are used to....there are palm trees instead

of evergreens.  But you can find beauty wherever you look for it.

 

Las Vegas

reminds me of

Pleasure Island in the movie

"Pinocchio".

 

People come they leave reality

and get lost in whatever they choose to find

and pretend that real life doesn't exist.

They come, they play -- some turn

into jack-asses -- and then

they go home and pretend it never happened.

It boggles the mind.

At least my mind.

We've done a few fun things....and it's fun to be together.

I will be just as happy to leave.

 

Travel.

It can be so fun.  So tiring.

And when you get home...

...you can rest.
