We flew all last night and arrive back in Burlington at 9:30. Our friend Juba had left our car for us so getting home was a snap. The cool moist air Was an amazing contrast to the last couple of days in Arizona.

We got the dogs out for a walk in the woods soon as we got home. The lush green Evermont was so different in the last 11 days of desert

It was a really great vacation. We did about 1640 miles went from Phoenix to Cavecreek to Lamry Lake To Santa Fe to sunburned back to Santa Fe to Gila Hot Springs then to Tucson and back to Phoenix. We saw beautiful geology, stars, wildlife, friends, freaks, and at least twice our weight and red and green hot sauce.

I got back to work As soon as we got home… It was kind of hard digging back through all that email. As always a mixture of good and not so good news about work.… It felt nice to be busy… But I noticed just how peaceful and relaxed I Felt after the vacation… Hopefully I can make that last until tomorrow.

Tonight we went up to Deb’s for Mexican food feast. It was another great way to prolong our vacation

OK… Now to sleep in our own bed.

More tomorrow

Night all, night Sam
