HOME!



Two thousand eight hundred miles - from the center of México to the northwestern United States - through nopal and encino, grasslands, pinyon and juniper, sagebrush and bitterbrush and lupine country - winding through craggy mountains and driving straight across vast expanses of high desert - the landscape that stretches between Guanajuato and Idaho is spectacular, and during the week of our road trip home it was singing of spring.

We crested Timmerman Hill on Saturday evening, the valley radiant in the slanting light, and our hearts soared. Even as we miss our new friends and the colors, language, and culture of Guanajuato, it is good to be home in Idaho.

  1. I'm so glad you made it home safely. You guys look great-radiant, healthy and happy! I'm sad that I missed you in Provo. The relay was awesome-but oh so hard. You guys would love it. So so so beautiful. Welcome home! Maybe we'll hook up this summer. Nice photos.
