After all the hotels and restaurants (good and bad), it was nice to get a home-cooked meal last night, courtesy of Brom's grandfather and his wife, who are two of the nicest people I've ever met, and this is on a trip that has been filled with nice people. Now, we are about to embark on our final leg of driving (about 6 hours to L.A.) It will be weird to stop moving along. Well, for a day, anyway. Thursday I fly back to Boston and my relatively normal life.
I believe that I will go back with a greater tolerance for people and patience for the world in general. For a little while, anyway. I've seen a lot of natural beauty and met a lot of cool people, so it will be strange to go back to East-Coast-Go-Go-Go life. I'm sure I'll get used to it, and be back to the same cynical son-of-a-gun I always was soon enough. But for now, it's been cool.
It will also be weird to see L.A. again. I lived there 13 years ago, so I'm sure a lot of it is different, but it's still a crazy place, so I'm looking forward to experiencing the memories again. I'm not really sure if there's anything in particular I was looking forward to, but just the city as a whole. I'll just have to see how I feel when I get there.
Not sure when the next update will be on this blog. Maybe the airport. Maybe Boston. Maybe L.A. Either way, I hope people enjoyed reading about our trip as much as we enjoyed living it. It was a once in a lifetime experience. To paraphrase a friend of mine, everything came up Milhouse!
