Thanks, Alece. I am thinking about doing a follow up Mind Bytes about what the trip was really like. I was surprised at myself. Only one or two panic attacks. We were only there a week, so that might have attributed And the people (we didn’t see as many ‘normal’ people as we usually do) were so much more inviting than I expected. It was hard leaving – which is usually not the case.

Wow, deary. I can relate while not experiencing. I think. Is that even possible? But these are things which bug me about our culture, too, and which I think I would enjoy about other cultures. I’m so sorry you have to deal with self-absorbed people. A different kind are rather rare, though.

Hoping you’re making it through in one piece …

I know what you’re talkin’ about – I just spent four months in Mexico. It’s different for sure.

Hey, go hiking up to cub lake. We went there two weeks ago, and ran into a HERD of elk. A herd! Just staring at us where we climbed up on rocks to get away from them. Besides, it was a lovely hike.

Oh do have a fun time and SAVOR every moment! You work hard and deserve a fun trip! And the only thing I’d really worry about is the toilet paper stuff…that other stuff is just other people being silly!!!

Enjoy Starbucks and the scenery! Maybe you can even find some Peeps around!

Big, big hugs!
