We left California on a Christmas adventure of revitalization and hope for a better tomorrow. Like the Wiseman of old on their Camels following a magical star of Bethlehem, we dutifully loaded our GPS for a place of more freedom of expression and life. Our journey took us 1600 miles in a short 3 days. Along the road we were warned about governmental edicts we were choosing not to adhere to. At a restaurant we were told to move out quickly that the police would soon come to check the restaurant and parking lot for visitors. I drove 11 hours that day and made it out of the severe lockdown. We continued to drive and drive stopping only for short food and bathroom breaks and a few hours of sleep. I think about the Wiseman being stopped by King Harrods men, brought to Harrod to give him any information they had on the newborn king. We too were stopped at an illegal roadblock, questioned, flash lights searching our car, asked if I was a citizen, and set free to continue on my journey, with Adelia tucked in under blankets in the back seat sound asleep.
We stopped, totally exhausted in San Antonio Texas and have been here 5 days. We got to the Zoo where Adelia got to visit with Santa, ride the choo choo train, ride a merry go round, and amazingly ride on the back of a camel!!!
It seems our journey will continue for some while, till we create a space for our new life. We will not be returning by way of Harrods men, but the Angels who have guided us on our journey are showing us the way home!
We are strong, getting some needed rest and looking forward to the many new adventures ahead!
