So for all of you who wish to be updated this summer on my experiences in Santa Fe, this is the place to be. I will try to update regularly, and will begin by a pre-trip entry.
We are leaving tomorrow morning between 10-11 AM, meeting up with my roommate, Karra, outside of Burlington, NC, and heading west into Tennessee where we will find a place to stay outside of Nashville. I am nervous, but not for reasons easily explained. For one, I have been on some meds for bronchitis for a little less than a week, and the prednisone has really, seriously messed with my system. It almost simulates anxiety, which we all know is no stranger to me! I am thankful that Aaron and Lola will be my co-pilots.
Nerves are also stemming from this whole experience of reaching my destination by car, rather than by train or plane, which were my modes 5 years ago. Totally confounded, but I fear that my adoration for Santa Fe might be diminished by such un-romantic means of getting there. Will it still be as spiritual and inspirational as it was in 2005? It's a new chapter that I have to embrace. There are going to be a lot of changes from the time I spent there 5 years ago, and I do need to recognize that these things will weave themselves into my collective experiences.
Ok, wish us luck for the 1800 mile road trip ahead of us! Our plan is to be in Santa Fe by Monday afternoon!!
Will keep you posted!
