Your writing pulls at my heart as there as many similarities. Maybe it is the fall season that make us reminisce about our wonderful past and our present. Becky

Portugal is mild: mild climate, mild manners, mild landscapes. Gentle. Soft. Comfortable. Looking west, Utah's desert landscapes are stunning, dramatic, intense, and brutal -- and we miss them so much! We join you in some irony about what never was: My first river trip was on the Middle Fork of the Salmon in 1974. Although we never drew a permit for that river since then, we had over a dozen Grand Canyon trips and many other sublime whitewater trips. Letting go of all our gear in the move here was a special kind of grief. Your earlier essay on the decades of your life was a kind of comfort. Keep writing!
