Driven home
The drive back was easy, perhaps because it’s a good hour and a half shorter than the drive from where I went to grad school. There was a lot of construction, which was annoying (oh god! what if I scratch my father’s car! he loves that car more than me!), but mostly you drive through stretches of trees and mountains.
The mountain part is less good, because I’ve had a cold/earache/thing since I left. When we drove down, the earache was in my left ear; driving home, it’s in my right. This has been painful.
But I got to drive past the 45th parallel sign (”You are halfway between the equator and the north pole”), which always amuses me when I drive by it. What is it doing there? Who put it there in the first place? Why?
I also remembered how amusing the trip from the VT border to Montreal is. There are almost no signs to Montreal until you pass Iberville — before that, all the signs are to Iberville.

Welcome back?

Well, except for the part where I really wish I were on vacation still. (The photos were just planned posts I wrote before I left, in order to ensure I continue to post daily.)
