Homeward Bound


On December 12, 4 months and 16,000 miles after departing Wyoming, we returned to Denver, CO.
The FreedomWagen performed above all expectations.
We rode from the Pacific to the Atlantic Coast; from Canada down to Key West.  

As thrilled as we are to be home for the holidays, Ben and I both are left longing for more time on the road.  I thought perhaps our journey would result in a new direction for our future or an enlightened path, but ultimately it was an incredible adventure- and that is enough.  It's difficult to reconcile all of the experiences we collected in such a short amount of time.  It was one vacation rolled into the next, into the next.  Traveling with dogs and being an arms-length away from each other day after day proved challenging at times, but we cannot wait to do it again.  Thank you to all our friends and family who fed, bathed, and housed us along the way.  We are beyond blessed by your generosity and friendships.  What we do know for certain is our time in the Wagen is far from over.  When the snow melts and Spring comes, we hope to pick up where we left off and head toward my favorite region in America- the southwest.  In the meantime, Ben and I embark for Peru in January and SE Asia  to follow.  We mean to stretch what's left of our savings as long and far as possible.  
As for jobs, well, we will cross that bridge when we have to.
