We stayed in Albert's house for the last few days of the trip. He lives in a convienent area near the heart of Panama city. I liked his place. Three bathrooms. Well suited for guests. As I sit here writing this it is morning after I returned from the trip. Picked up the dogs, got a good night's sleep, and I'm up watching a spectacular sunrise in Tucson, Arizona, which is neither hot nor humid but is instead at the apex of perfection this morning. I'm excited to get packing towards the final push. Before I can do much in that regard, I have to pick-up the Bounder from the shop where it is getting final service before the cross-country trip. That may require some help. There is plenty to do, that's for sure. Soon the dogs will be ready for their morning walk. Perhaps cousin Jodi will want to hike with us this morning and then take me to pick up the magic carpet.
