Home, Sweet Home
Monday, 9/22/08 – At Home in Green Valley
We left very early, a little before daylight as it turned out, which made the 14 mile drive on the narrow, curvy road exciting. I kept picturing a deer running out into the road and us (me) either driving into the Colorado River or a wall of rocks trying to avoid it. Luckily, there were no animals and not much traffic, so we made it safely into Moab.
We drove 611 miles today and just shy of 4500 for the trip. We arrived in Green Valley a little after 4. Gaining an hour when we got to AZ was a real psychological lift. Everything looks great in our place, although it is fairly dusty. The Miata wouldn’t start, but some jumper cables should fix that. Arthur had called the cable company from the car to get everything started, so we even had internet and TV waiting for us. And we even had a wonderful home-cooked dinner thanks to Arthur, which was a real treat after a month of restaurant food.
Now we look forward to settling in for awhile. Traveling is great, but it is awfully good to be home.
