take two steps forward?
Maybe just one for now. I'm on the next leg of my journey, and after a lovely 18 hour bus ride I'm hangin out in Missouri for a little while with Micah and Aimee. Yay vacation!
The bus ride was great, aside from the nitty gritty details - uncomfortable seats, me being too tall, waiting around for hours both outside and in uncomfortable seats. But that's the pessimistic view. I got to talk to some cool people in the station, and made TWO scarves while I waited. One of them I gave to a lady on her way to Florida (she won't need it for long!) A trucker watched in fascination and vowed that scarf making would become his part time job so he could make gifts for all the ladies in his family :) A guy named Sean (or Brian? Sean or Brian.), who reminded me of Dane Cook, had a good time antagonizing and making jokes while I talked to people about henna, belly dance, making scarves, and all the fun and crazy things that come up during conversations with strangers.
A businessman from India shared some crackers with me (he called them biscuits) from a small pack with about 20 crackers in it. It would have cost about $.20 in the US (Amazing!). They were delicious crackers with crisp, flaky layers and delicious seasonings. The local vending machine blushed to a pristine alabaster in comparison.
I'm gonna go for a walk. I wanted to say "Hi!" from Missouri, though, and let you guys know that I'm still alive, and around, just scooted along a bit further down my path. I'll talk to Micah tonight about sharing a few of his Delicious recipes so I've got some more juice for the journal.
Much love, and cozy winter wishes,
Joan
