Thankfully I rarely need to learn a lesson twice. The morning is spent in research, guide book and map in hand until my inner Hermione’s need for order is quelled. I pick through the sights, […]

Day Seventy One
The sensation of time speeding up is upon me again. I can’t believe we’ve been away for 71 days; we’ll be home in a little less than three weeks. At this point, home seems as […]
