Sadly, this chapter of my big adventure has come to a close. I cannot say enough how happy and fortunate I feel to have had the support and the ability to do what I have just come back from. It's amazing how big the world is and how despite how much ground I've covered, there is SO much more to see and do. The biggest thing I've learned about myself on this adventure is how much I do enjoy doing and trying new things and yet how lucky I feel to come from where I do. I'll post a longer "reflection" at some point.
As for the blog- I've really enjoyed keeping this and find that I am a lot better at putting something online than I am at holding myself to a journal. As you can tell though from my posts getting less and less frequent, when I'm doing less frequent "out of the norm" stuff, it is harder to motivate to write every day. It's also less interesting to read something when it just turns into a "dear diary" situation. So my plan is to update every once in awhile, especially with something blogworthy, so if you want to check in sporadically to see what I'm up to, feel free, if not, don't read!
Emily, as someone who has spent a carreer reading (more like sleeping through) travel writing, your descriptions of your travels have been some of the most entertaining, accessible, well written and down right engaging posts I have ever read. You have a unique voice, a passion for adventure and you make your iPad sing. I can't wait to see how you combine all that into a life pursuit. Thank you for taking me along. Love, Proud Uncle George
