End of the Road - Almost...

Fort Wayne, IN.
3 countries, 29 states, over 10,000 miles by car, about 14 weeks on the move. Talk about a re-entry experience. From Idaho we drove across Montana (getting snowed on in one memorable mountain pass) into North Dakota (which welcomed us with the heaviest rain I think I have ever attempted to drive through - but now I've been in all 48 of the lower states). North Dakota surprised me with how different it is from South Dakota - overall, much more interesting terrain, at least what I could see from I-94. We proceeded down to Minneapolis, Minnesota and enjoyed reconnecting with one of Amy's good friends and met a great couple who have been a part of AMI's board of trustees. Minneapolis is an interesting city - some beautiful old neighborhoods, fascinating industrial heritage, and a pretty happening arts scene. There are also a large number of gigantic old church buildings, including the oldest basilica in the USA. Someday we'll have to see about visiting St. Paul, on the other side of the river.
Yesterday (Sunday) we drove the final leg through Wisconsin and Illinois back to Indiana. Chicago traffic was typically ridiculous, Wisconsin surprised by having dumb speed limits, but overall a pleasantly uneventful drive.
We're done with the major part of our travels, but we still have the move to Boston to finish things up. Somehow I had forgotten that upon our return we would not only have to unpack the car, but also the shipment of stuff that we sent from Aberdeen back in January.
At the moment we're wilting in 90(F) high humidity, very much missing the mild climes of Scotland!
