It may seem by the lack of visuals that we have not visited family while on this journey. Strangely with all of the intensive documentation only one photo can be found amongst our images from all of the various visits with family members. In truth between the two of us we have visited six aunts and uncles, eight cousins, and two first cousins once removed. These visits have occurred in: Durham, NC; Bethesda, MD; Brooklyn, NY; New Canaan, CT; Portsmouth, NH; and Bennington, VT. Great times were had, stories swapped, children and adults hugged, and fed, and given the once over and the "long time no see" and the "let's visit again soon" on the way out. Our families are filled with bright, interesting and talented people. They are a joy to hang out with. But apparently they are not at all the subjects of this blog, as I seemingly forgot that there even was such a thing as a camera at every home that included a relation. I can't totally explain the phenomenon, we shall simply call it "the family factor." One family stop still to come, but it will be on Hannah's fourth birthday, so there is hope that Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Eric will actually manage to get themselves into a photo. Look for that when we arrive in Boulder. Until then, here is the one image taken by Elijah of my cousin Maya, as we were saying goodbye from opposite subway platforms in Brooklyn.
This blog entry is dedicated to Owen, Ethan, Adam, Riley, Dougal, Robin, Maya, Daniel, Pat, Hud, Jane, David, Linda, Ben, Gail, and Bob, all of whom we witnessed with our eyes, and only one seen in our virtual narrative. Thank you all for your great familial greetings!
