Day 288: Bokeelia, FL Cloudy and hot. Resurrection SundayWe attended church at St Luke in Ann Arbor. It was a pretty nice service, they figured out how to get ten musicians and singers to perform together using Zoom. I’m wondering what happened to all those Easter lilies that nobody got to enjoy.

Day 287: Bokeelia, FL Cloudy and cool in the morning, giving way to hot and humid. The cute little pileated woodpecker has become a problem. It will not leave the van alone.

Day 282: Bokeelia, FL Cloudy. It became sunnier later in the day. For evening sky viewing, the full moon was fierce competition for the sunset, which we are unable to view from the pier any more. The pier has been closed to everyone except a few paying fishermen.
Day 281: Bokeelia, FL Cloudy and cooler. Technology. We can now go to almost any church we want to. Today we went to two churches: our usual St Luke Ann Arbor, and a church in Bloomfield Hills, where our favorite pastor Dan is the vacancy preacher. The services are nice.

Day 280: Bokeelia, FL Sunny and warm. I finished the map of where we’ve been on our odyssey. I added where we planned to go to finish the circle home. The parts in red are the planned stops, with the New Hampshire stop being dependent on how we felt at the end of our trip,... Continue Reading →
