SOMEWHERE IN THE DULLES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, Washington, D.C. — We are back in the States, dear friends, after six days of sitting, flying, training (as in, riding a train, not physical training of some kind….yeah), eating, coffeeing, watching for the queen, lots and lots of walking, sightseeing and photographing. It has been, in a word, exquisite. What a trip. What an adventure.

There are many photos to share and stories to tell. For now, there is a two-hour layover before our final flight to Denver. So please bear with me as I try to survive jet lag and consider this entire experience a little further before fully diving in and sharing it with you.

I hope you have all been well this past week. You have been missed!
