Rebecca and I just returned from a 44-day journey of six legs: Decorah to St. Louis; St. Louis to San Miguel, Mexico; San Miguel to St. Louis; St. Louis to Boston; Boston to St. Louis; St. Louis to Decorah.
12 stops and 6376 miles.
Let’s call it Odyssey-lite, with no Homer, no Calypso, and no Mediterranean.
But we did experience:
Five Ubers; four seasons and airports; three beds and coffee makers; two snow storms, languages and Cartel executions; one Bidet, Bat Mitzvah and Rotary Meeting; .5 Boston Benji’s, and zero travel delays.
The Cartel executions were just to see if you were reading closely — an old teacher’s trick. It happened three blocks from our San Miguel apartment. We know nothing!
Yesterday, we unpacked, sipped gin and tonics, cooked and ate broiled Salmon, were introduced to Bad Bunny, collapsed, and dreamt of terriers, rabbits, and The Godfather.

Welcome home!! There were two executions in Minneapolis while you were gone, but not by a cartel.
Excellent point, Katie, for this reminder. Very interesting. NOT a coincidence.
Welcome home! So glad you had wonderful travels and experiences (except for the cartel incident)! So glad you are home!
Thank you, Laurie.
