My friend and I learned long ago that we can pretty much expect everything to take us twice as long as it would anyone else. We are professionally pokey and easily distracted when we travel.
Friday we drove from Pittsfield, Massachusetts to Ithaca, New York. When we were planning our fall lark to New England, we discovered that Shawn Colvin and Mary Chapin Carpenter would be on tour, and on the night we were to leave to come home, they’d be four hours away in New York. Tickets were bought and plans were changed. Ah! The ability to be flexible.
We knew that we had time to choose a scenic route and so expected a slow day. True to form, eight hours later, we arrived in Ithaca.
I arrived at our hotel with my heart full to the brim with God’s beauty. But who knew that slow travel could be so exhausting?
Saturday will definitely be a ten mile day. Meanwhile, the heavens are still proclaiming God’s glory.
