After 5 years of driving very little I've about reached my quota. In seven days I've been in a car over 30 hours. 8 western states in 7 days. Enough! Tonight I'll sleep in yet another bed. However this one is familiar. I'm home with my family in California. This morning I started out from Boise. I set off wondering if I'd opt for a hotel half way through. But 9 hours later I arrived in Redding. 9 hours alone in a car. I enjoyed it way more than I thought. I listened to NT Wright's "Evil and Justice" book on my ipod. Good thought provoking stuff! It is good to be home and good to be in a familiar place.
Driving cross country sure has reminded me of how vast our country is. There is so much land that seems empty. Wide open space.... So diverse... Mountains have their own character in each region. What beauty and barrenness. Interesting that the two can comingle. I don't care to drive cross country again for a while but I'm grateful to have seen new places in the USA. We have so much to be grateful for.
