The Morning After
N? W?
So it is official. The van is no more. The last estimate I heard was $8000 and climbing to sort out its ills. May it rust in peace.......
As for me the last couple of weeks have been a mix of insurance company frustration and good times via the unexpectedly extended stay with my AZ family. The cousins are bundles of energy and joy and we had a blast making movies and playing frisbee. Check out our blockbusters... Hot Topic Tours & Skateboarding. I was fortunate enough to revisit Sedona which is a beautiful location and had my first real good look at those big tall cactus things you see in the westerns - most impressive. Check out the movie on this one. Also got to go to my Aunts new church. Quite the jolly service and attending once every two years (the last time I went) seems to be just about right for me.
According to the chiropractor I may have suffered what they call a little soft tissue damage. He conducted a few tests and ascertained some (hopefully temporary) restriction of movement. Perhaps a regime of regular massages and chiropractor adjustments for the next six months will be required. Wellness Center here I come!
So I now find myself in Tucson organising shipping for the vans contents and awaiting the next train through town (one every couple of days it seems). What with all the excitement I misread the train time and arrived 24 hours early for the 2am train..... A bonus day to be had in Tucson!
All in all not the ending to the grand adventure I had anticipated. Still it's been a fun ride and it's not quite over yet...
