– Despite having spent the last week packing, Sydney caught me without something important just as we walked out the door: “Okay, Erin, I’m not forgetting anything dumb like my passport, right?” “Oh, no, you aren’t . . . but apparently I am.” So it seems Erin is not quite used to this “international travel” business.
– License plate seen on the drive: “YUI AUTA.” We also got to follow a couple of souped-up cars from the ’40s for a long stretch of road before they turned off into what looked like a large regional car show. The license plate on the one? “RD RAT 1.”
– We called it quits in Bangor, ME, after 9 1/2 hours of driving and have settled in for exactly five minutes of a David Attenborough film on birds. Then we’re out for the night.

Seems this is how we may communicate over the next week or so…glad to hear the first travel day went well. Picked up a Faulkner book today – immediately honed in on Light in August. Will attempt to read As I Lay Dying before the trip.
The chickens are going to miss you…
Love,
