Post Card from Ellen’s Edge!

Carole King and Cat Stevens are singing to me and Steve is tolerating it pretty well.  We have made it to the ocean! I keep getting asked what it is like to be on the road together so much,what do we do?  How are we getting along?  Well, we read a lot, listen to books in the car,talk a lot of course.  Steve and I have always traveled well together!

I think a lot.  Mostly about how beautiful this country is and how really lucky I am to be doing this trip. Sometimes I really miss the daily focus of working, having to be someplace, and who I need to have over for dinner soon.  I really miss having a kitchen and dining room to have Steve cook and me to invite people over to.  Then Carole King comes on with “I hope the road won’t come to own me” or Cat Stevens plays “I know I am on my way…” Or Bette Midler belts out “You got to have friends, the feelings oh so strong…”  And I go out and get some!

My health is good I think . At least I don’t, but never did feel any symptoms . I am going for a blood test before we leave for Ecuador just to ease my mind.  Steve has formally declined the Peace Corps (yes they still would take him but not me).  We are going to try Ecuador and learn Spanish more seriously at least until winter is over.  Hopefully what they say is true about needing to sit still a while for the next idea to formulate, purpose to come, window to open etc.

I am in awe of my family and friends that are following the blog and keep finding people and places for us to stay along the way. Many thanks for coming along!

Miss you all,

Ellen
