Tired. I've been treating my walkabout like a vacation, trying to fit everything in. I realize I've been pretty much on the go seven days a week for the past two months. Today I am sitting inside my hotel room (they lowered the rate to $44/night) catching up on my blog posts, reading and sleeping. My mind tells me I'm being a slug, but my body is telling me I made the right call. Only place I need to be is Boulder on December 1st. Between now and then I hope to hit the North Rim (was closed but reopened), Cottonwood Road back in Utah and Monument Valley (also in Utah). I learned from the fellow from Houston yesterday that everything in Monument Valley is closed except the road through. I did not realize it is in the Navajo Nation which has been terribly hard hit by Covid.
The more we travel, the longer we stay at individual locations. The body needs time to rest and the mind needs time to ponder the wonder and the nuances.
