Yesterday we modified our plans a bit, we had planned to stay two nights in Fresno, however an email from our friends including an invite to a Jam the next night tempted us to push on up to Pete and Jan's in Atwood.
We managed to get there in good time, have a bit of a rest and then go to Jack's for a lovely jam in the evening. It was such a good time, very relaxed, lots of music and talking and very friendly people, most of whom we had met once before in September, but amazingly they still remembered us!
We have been made most welcome by the people that we have met here (at Atwood, but also generally when we have travelled). I am coming to the conclusion that 'places' is about somewhere you go, but 'home' is about being with people. Either we have been very lucky, protected or guided, or we feel very easily at home. Atwood is one of those special places that make us feel like we are coming home when we visit here. It is a very comforting feeling and I suppose one of the many reasons we enjoy travelling.

Having just watched the news about Boston marathon I had to come back to your site and read this again to remind me that most people are good.Thank you for writing this and reminding me.
On a lighter note I have just looked at your map - its wonderful! Just love it, where did you get the knife and fork symbol from? I spent some time tidying up my lines a bit and putting placemarks on but I dont have your lovely list, mine is jumbled. Must try harder!
