Day 12 • Sept. 10

You know how it is at the end of a holiday.  All that remains are the motions: returning the car, checking through customs, boarding the plane.  The pilot does the rest.

U.S. duty import law restricts what overseas travelers can bring back to the country.  Fortunately, they can’t tax memories or else I would have gone broke.

Goodbye, Mrs. Callanan.  Farewell, Mr. Ellis Evans, may your sheep grow fat and may your hills remain lush and may people like you bless our world forevermore.
