When this whole thing started, it was hard to imagine what three months on the road would be like. I had images of being completely walled off from society, images of meeting new people in every town, and the wonder of when I would really start to miss friends and loved ones. So far, I think the best summation would be that it’s been a mix of the first two and that missing people is starting to set in. Being on the road has made for nice combination of avoiding the structures of society while at the same time having them at an arms reach. The nicest part has been getting to be a part of so many different people’s lives as we continue to meet new friends and visit old ones.

We’ve solved the issue of electricity and bathing has become less of an issue now that we have astronaut style bath soap. The internet has become such an integral part of how we both communicate with friends and learn about the world that that remains a bit of a thorn in the side. Other than that…a relatively trivial issue…we’ve really made this work and are having a ton of fun. Thanks to everyone for helping us out before we left and along the way.
