While I love to travel and see new places, eat new food and learn new things, I also love the getting home part. Is there anything better than returning to the place you love? If I can see the skyline as we land, I get a stupid smile on my face. No view today, so it didn't happen until I walked out of the international terminal and saw a "Welcome to Chicago" sign. Ahh.
It already feels like my ride was ages ago, even though this is only the 3rd day since I finished. I miss the riding. I didn't know if I would like touring, but the answer is definitely "yes!" It somehow strikes a perfect balance between my need to pushpushpush and my desire to slow down once in a while. I would definitely be interested in doing another one.
Reflecting on my ride, by the numbers:
