Heathrow Airport, 6/8/16



Our journey has concluded. We have had another outstanding adventure. It unfolded like a rapturous feast, the kind seen in movies like Babette's Feast. A series of superlative offerings. Set in the perfect order.  Each offering topping the previous. Ecstatic traveling. That is the Wesley/Casey way.  If someone asks, as many will, reasonably so, what was the highlight of the trip, I can only say that what began as an outstanding trip got better every day. Everyday, everyplace was the highlight. And now we return from a dream trip to our dream of a home. The world, our globe, is wonderful, especially so in the smaller cities, the villages, the historic centers. Only a week ago, we stood on a mountain top in Agrigento. The sun, in it's last hour, illuminated, and bathed in golden light, the temple we stood to admire. From there, the hills rolled down to the southern shore of Sicily. Two-thousand six-hundred years ago that temple was surrounded by people. On an individual level, their cares were similar to ours. They desired good health for their loved ones and for them to be happy and satisfied.  It is a satisfying and reassuring part of travel to see, everywhere, humans wanting good for other humans. It is a great privilege And pleasure to crawl to the far corners of the world and find good there.
