Notes from John's Journal...
Brunswick, ME
Lodging: Still home
A little more than one week after successfully traversing the
North American continent, I’m still responding to people’s
inevitable question: “How was it?” Just as it is
difficult to answer that question with any depth in a ten-minute
conversation, so, too, is it a formidable challenge to write a
narrative that can summarize the value, importance, impact and
meaning of having completed this odyssey. An equally wonderfully
warm chorus of “Welcome Home” has accompanied this
recurring question! People who kept track of the progress of the
ride, people from home, relatives and friends have universally
been welcoming and eager to hear about all the goings-on for the
past three months.
This is why I’m planning to create a slideshow, which I’ll
display at First Parish Church in Brunswick and, most likely,
Bowdoin College.
