Hi!
Hello
Waddup
Yo
Hey
Dear
[ ... ] friend!
Yá'át'ééh as our Navajo friends say
or Ha'u in Hopi.
Great to see you here again, hope you’re doing well, and thanks for visiting my blog.
It’s been a while since I last wrote.
I know I posted some stories recently, however the majority of those were actually written in 2020, just prior to the pandemic. — I might’ve brushed things up a little here and there.
So, it’s been 3 years since our last trip, and after 2 years of pandemic, I’m glad to tell you that we’ll be going on a trip real soon. To be exact, 13 days from the day I’m writing this.
Before we get to this year’s excitements, let's take a little trip down the memory lane and recap our previous journeys together...
Prelude:
• A little background story before we begin our journey:
