The vacation is over and we’re heading home today, planning to camp tonight in Liechtenstein and make Prague tomorrow so I’m writing this now at 7:30 in the morning because I might not be able to tonight.
It has been a fantastic trip, full of new sights and insights. The kids have had a blast, the food has been good and except for a couple of minor bumps on the road, the kinds of thing that happen every vacation, things have gone really smoothly.
A few words about last night: We went to see my brother’s band rehearse after we finally got home from Annecy. His son, Dylan, who is 15, plays drums. Now, I have heard my brother play many times, from way back in our living room on Buchanan Street, decades ago. It’s always good to hear him but I knew, pretty much, what to expect. In fact, I think there were only two songs I hadn’t heard before.
One was a song my brother wrote called “Shipped My Job to China,” which I believe you can find on youtube, and the other was a really fast paced song about an auction.
But I had no idea what my nephew would sound like on drums and I was skeptical because he is, after all, only 15. To make a long story short, the kid rocks.
My next post will be from Prague.
