HIGHLIGHTS

  • Wydown: delicious cortado / inspiring (as usual) conversation with K8 / guy wearing Greenville Astros hat(!)

  • Wrote and delivered a letter

  • Touched base with friends in Madrid, feeling like my itinerary for the Camino is starting to solidify (stay tuned)

  • Met up with a handful of good friends in NYC before making my way to the airport

  • Talked to Sleepy K8 on the way to the airport


CHALLENGES

  • Lots of emotions departing

  • Feeling utterly tongue-tied as K8 & I said our goodbyes at Union Station.

  • Bus WiFi definitely did not work, but I was able to use my phone as a hotspot for work communications

  • Flight delayed, not a huge deal; allowed me to charge my phone and rest a bit


ET.CET.

There’s not much I have to say that I haven’t already said. I hope you don’t mind the repetition. I promise to keep finding new melodies and words and rhyme schemes to keep it fresh. But the story is there, and the story is solid, and I am so excited to keep living out this story and sharing it with you.
