In
July, I had the unique opportunity to spend 9 days in Arizona, 7 of which were
floating down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. I’m in the
middle of blogging through the amazing week from my hand-written personal journal. Bite-sized chunks ... I hope you enjoy
them.

Well, today I feel pretty
thoroughly lousy. I’m still really
grateful to be here, and am enjoying this opportunity. But I really can’t believe that I am missing
my love’s birthday. Had a terrible sleep
– it was a warm night, and I was both lonely and guilty, missing my family
terribly. I wish I could talk or Skype
with Vanessa and the kids. I worry about
anything bad that could have happened while I’ve been gone. There’s a sharp headache this morning – lack of
sleep, I believe.
