One more thing
I meant it when I said I’d rather not blog about corona (I have a number of Mexican stories I want to tell you) but after I posted that last one on facebook it became apparent that I need to take one more moment.
Because I adore you. All of you. The comments from friends made my eyes tear up with gratitude and affection. Talk about perfectly timed medicine.
In particular, former tour members and travel friends spoke up, and it reminded me of the incredible gifts of travel itself, and of my work as a guide. Both of those are on hold at the moment, but I assume I speak for the many when I say we are still committed to traveling, meeting new people, learning new things, and celebrating the marvelous human diversity that unites us all. When those gates open, we’ll be in the first pack, booking tickets and showing up with eyes and hearts open, undaunted.
So thank you, to all my friends, be they travel-folk or otherwise, and I look forward to seeing you out there somewhere soon.
Gut reise.

There will still be travel days ahead. Plenty of them.

I think you’re right. I’m curious to see how it goes though, since inevitably some will think it’s time to start traveling again before others do. What will those first waves of travelers find? A lack of tourist crowds but plenty of welcoming locals, or suspicious locals and contagion-minded hosts? Knowing humans, I’m guessing the answer is (as usual): all of the above. Which, I suppose, is one of the things we travel to see. 😉
