final thoughts on the true gifts

final thoughts-
For those who thought that this much action and adventure couldn't be healthily crammed into 18 days, let this blog be proof that hell yes it can. For the whole of this trip the wheels kept rolling but time stood still. Every moment was a moment to open our eyes and see, open our mouths to taste, open our hearts to love and experience. We loved every National Park that hosted us, every friends house we stayed at, every city we explored, but the greatest moments of this journey for us came when we rounded a bend in a small mountain road and were confronted with a perfect vista, a magical sky, a rock formation like none we had seen before. Or when we stumbled upon a little town where art, smiles, and free expression are the prevailing vibe. Or when we found a little general store covered in flowers and hand painted signs on the side of a coastal road, presenting itself as a true gift from the spirit guides of the wandering souls for those who are willing to stop and recognize. We had not one moment where we weren't filling our experience tanks with the purest kind of fuel- the fuel of exploration and positivity. We are sad that this leg of the journey comes to an end, but we return to our city lives with renewed energies and secure in the knowledge that we shall be on the road again.

Loving the Life We Live

And loving you all.

Greg and Caitlin
