SUMMER BREAK: Texas tonight, New Mexico tomorrow, Arizona Friday.
Direction: home.
Time frame: days, probably weeks till I arrive…

All have been treating me fantastically well here. It was a toss-up whether or not I was to visit El Paso. I will ultimately proceed back through eastern New Mexico– Alamogordo, Artesia, and beyond, so coming to El Paso was actually adding miles to the route, again. I’ve found by now though that every time I feel some sort of intuitive calling to go out of my way to a place which adds miles to the route, I’m always rewarded in one way or another.
One of many things I plan to do this break is write more. I’m not sure how quickly reflective blogs will arrive, but I’ll post them as they do…
Robert, Karen, Russ, Aida, Celia, Jeff, Diana, Luis and others have been so helpful to me here in greater El Paso. I look forward to returning here after this summer to continue the Walk. Tomorrow I’ll spend another night with Las Cruces hosts Allyson & Katie, and hopefully finally sort out the incompetency and confusion regarding the large general delivery I’ve been awaiting for weeks at the Las Cruces central post office. I’ll catch a bus to Phoenix on Friday, returning to Mike & Brooke’s (new house now), spending some days with them (hopefully seeing the local Ceckas and other Brooke too), and next look for a connection probably to the Bay Area…
Life is a challenge, and it would be a bore if it weren’t. Attitude is key: Life is great and getting better…
