Farewell (again) to the U.S.
Mar 18, 2003

Looking back, it was a well-calculated and wise decision. At the time, it was more one of near-desperation and a desire to get unstuck before I sunk in too deep at home. I spent three months living in Seongju, South Korea from mid-October, 2002 to mid- ...

Back home!

Another rest stop on the way home. Tulsa was absolutely stifling with humidity and heat when we arrived.  I guess we are heading in the right direction. On the way to Tulsa, we drove through St. Louis.  We had a great view of the Arch as we drove ...
