Last week, my kids and I were visiting my parents in Savannah, GA. Working virtually, the world seems smaller and I almost forget about the differences in other parts of the country. Maybe that’s why I was struck with wonder at some of the “little things” that were quite different from home. 1) I saw a real, live gecko for the first time. My kids said, “Look, it’s just like the one on the Geico commercial!” 2) When we went fishing, we caught more sharks than fish. Apparently, the waters off Savannah are warm, and this time of year has quite a lot of sharks. They were small–less than a foot long, but impressive. One was even a Bonnethead, which looks like a mini Hammerhead (dubbed the “killer shark” by my 4 year old). 3) You can’t buy McDonald’s iced coffee in the South. That is a tragedy!
What is it about travel that makes it tiring to the body but rejeuvenating to the mind? Someday I might have to be like the VAs that travel the country and work out of their RV. Back to work!
