It's towards the end of Tuesday afternoon now. Around the time in a trip like this you start to feel a little lost and begin to second guess yourself. Why did we do this? Why go there? Should we have planned it this way? Planned it more or planned it less? Visited fewer places?
How do you do a country in 2 weeks? It's absurd. You hit a few highlights, and then the more you try to cram things in, the more you get frazzled. It's frazzle time. Fortunately, we've done most of the heavy duty driving at this point. We actually could do the rest of the trip with less driving than we did just on Monday, if we decided to take freeways and get place to place.
Vacations like this are almost by design going to be a series of highs and lows. You have a new place and limited time to see it, and so the stakes get raised on everything if you let that happen. I don't always let it, but this is the portion of the show where I'm tempted to do so. But you don't want to overthink it (not that I would ever do such a thing), but really the only thing wrong is we just spent too damned much time in the car these past 2 days.
In closing, (I like the formality of that)) I'd just like to say that this is everyone else's fault. It's obligatory dishonesty. Nobody wants to hear anyone whine about their vacation. It's a vacation, for goodness sake. It's barely even real life. It's just not all unicorns and rainbows though. Okay, got that off my chest. Now time to get back to the trip.
