chasing the horizon

Happy Canada Day!

Last night at 3 a.m. we ended our 32 day stint of chasing the horizon. During that time to the north and east and back we clocked 6,482 miles. We estimate that Magi drove about 482 of those (most of those being last night). Krishna won’t be sad if she doesn’t have to sit behind a steering wheel for a while.

We’re finally settled in D.C. We have about 24 days to enjoy being in one place. In these few upcoming weeks, we don’t need to travel to reach our next bed or wonder where our next meal is coming from. We’re going to revel in the comforts of having grocery stores full of food made just for our kind and the joy of napping on a whim.

Our month in Canada was really fun. We enjoyed some unusually clear weather. It never really reached a temperature where we could take off our sweaters but we didn’t mind that. We’ll have plenty of heat in the months ahead.

After we take a few days to relax and spending time with Magi’s family, we’re going to take care of all the last minute details of our trip overseas though we have yet to figure out what those are. Magi has to get her visa for India, we need to stock up on traveller’s cheques, and there must be a dozen other little things we need to take care of. We also have some good friends of ours coming down for a visit later this month and we’re really looking forward to that!

We continue to use our personal emails but will let you know when we switch to the tothesea address that you can link from this page. We also wanted to mention that the problem with seeing this text as green (on green) seems to be Netscape-specific. We recommend you view this site in Internet Explorer which is the browser it is designed for (sorry we can't be of more help).
