hello there

so that day we gained (and wisely used shopping at the gap and eating sushi) on the way over to the US was cruelly snatched from us as we departed the US on tuesday and arrived home wednesday morning (all the way home wednesday afternoon, since it's a 3 hour drive from the airport). going east is always hardest. you're falling asleep mid-afternoon and wide awake at 3 a.m., stomach growling because you've missed dinner and also because the similarly jetlagged kitty is attacking the foot you unwisely allowed to be exposed.

so a million impressions and experiences tumble around my sluggish brain...while i sort those out into coherent thoughts, here are some photos from the last days of our visit...we spent kind of a lot of time at the river.

Hello back. Glad you are home safe and sound. When crossing multiple time zones I usually need a week to recover! When crossing multiple cultures, well, that process may take a rather long time, rest well.

Those pictures are wonderful! I love the ones with them jumping off the pontoon boat -- beautifully captured! Was this still in Minnesota?

Welcome home - missed you here.

I think I suffer culture shock in both directions...I've definitely got my mid-Atlantic feeling - feeling like I'm neither here nor there...
