“I need to go to bed early tonight. I’m so tired. And tired of being tired.”

Current elevation: 574 feet
Home at last. I am tired. And so, so grateful. I’ve had an amazing two weeks, going from sea level one week to 11,000 feet above sea level (Estes Cone) the next. I’ve met tons of great people, gotten to know acquaintances better, and caught up with old friends. I’ve karaoked, hiked my butt off, ate amazing amounts of food so good it should be illegal, and indulged in French, Portuguese and Californian wine. And Newport beer. And the very best part of it all was rounding the corner from security at the airport tonight and hearing my little girl scream, “Mommy!” while running into my arms. I knew I missed her, but I couldn’t believe the overwhelming feelings of love and relief and home I felt when I scooped her up. I hadn’t planned on crying, but there I was, tears squeaking out as I hugged my girl hard.

Good-bye, EP
Clouds rolling in as I'm rolling out. Perfect timing. Great time here, but I can't wait to get home.

Grabbed this on our way into the Phamacy Liquor store. We were out of wine. Can't let that happen!

St. Malo
Quick visit here this afternoon…this doesn't do it justice. Better pix w/ the big ol' Nikon. Also got shots of the giant scary JC statue on the cliff nearby.

Hunter’s Chop House
Late lunch. Look what's on the menu. Can't get away from the Lou! Sorry it's sideways. Apparently the iPhone is smarter than me today as I can't figure out how to rotate it. The picture, not the iPhone. Oh, and about the lights…nice rack.
