Today marks the halfway point of the train the trip and so far I’ve seen unexpected hospitality and generosity from strangers, friends, and family. It took time for me to get used to this, almost confused at first. My social tendencies lean toward a quiet curiosity, usually avoiding longer bouts of conversation or involvement. Going solo required an adaptation of an approachable, chatty, and animated butterfly than a closed mouth, independent go getter.
And it wasn’t until numerous people treated me with this degree of consideration that I understand or now hope to show others the same. So if I ever get back to the East Coast, come over and I’m entertaining and cooking for everyone!
