On my way to Calais

Long Way to Calais

If I knew there was a bus from Boston to Portland, from Portland to Augusta, from Augusta to Bangor, and from Bangor to Calais, I would ride it. But Google did not tell me that. So my way was much longer than even that. I left at noon, hitchhiked, rode a bike, and slept in a hotel in Portland. This hotel was close to the bus station, that how I figured out the Concord bus line. It seems Google knows only Greyhound. There is one daily bus from Bangor to Calais, at 3 pm. If I knew that, the road from Boston to Calais would take me one day instead of two.

From journalism and car racing in Russia to teaching at the University in South Africa, where she won Alliance de France and the British Consulate international photo contests, she switched paths: earned a silver medal at the 2011 World Masters Athletics USA, hiked the 2,081-mile Appalachian Trail, navigated the Amazon from Peru to Brazil, biked Route 66 from Chicago to LA, from London to Orkney, and from Canada to Key West, and launched an art project at Midcoast Maine. During lockdown drove to Olympic Valley Palisades Tahoe where became a ski and swim instructor, then… well, enough for now.
