Back home
It turned out to take a little over 7 hours rather than 9. I had miscalculated entirely, thank goodness. 7 with 3 little ones in the back seat is enough, however.
The visit felt like sitting on the porch must have felt to people of our socioeconomic status a hundred years ago, just sitting there gabbing, maybe eating and drinking, occasionally going for a walk. Even in this day and age, the most we do outside formal work consists of do-it-yourself home improvements, car repairs, etc. No art, no real writing. We remain stuck at homo faber, unable to evolve to something more thoughtful.
