Favorite places: southern Utah, South Dakota

Favorite hot springs: Payette River, Idaho 

Unexpectedly good: Bicycle ride around Shiloh battlefield

Unexpectedly bad: I-81 through Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania...zillions of aggressive trucks!

  1. It is hard to resist the urge to go home when you're in Scranton, unless you live in Wilkes-Barre.

  3. Hola Esteban, Somehow I missed the dramatic events of your life this past year-- how's that for being oblivious! At any rate, I am so sorry you've had to go through all that, but sooooo relieved to hear that you are doing well. Con cariño y besitos para tí y Gina,
    Judita (McKernan)
