While I was back east saying my goodbyes, I had a Tibetan friend stop over for a few days. We didn't know we were living so close to each other at the time, but as they say: It's a small world! I hadn't seen him since two years ago when I was in Tibet myself, so it was a nice surprise. His English has improved very much since then, and it made me happy to see him more easily express himself in this language.
The drive west went by quickly. I think the more cross-country trips you make, the faster they seem to go. I stopped for a day or two at my aunt's in Ohio, then my parents' in Kansas, and finally on through to Colorado.
Today, I was chatting with a "neighbor" a ways down the road, as I had stopped by their multi-family yard sale, about how lovely it is in the summertime here. With it being the weekend, plenty of visitors were taking advantage of that: we had a running road race this morning, along with an air and water show after that-- one of my favorite spectator activities. No, I wouldn't appreciate being inside one of those acrobatic aircraft, but it sure is fascinating to watch.
