Second Day of Caravan

Tuesday July 10th. Route: San Diego to Tucson, AZ. We all met at 8am to hit the road but since we were going to drive through deserted areas, decided to go grocery shopping to prepare. Hit the road at 10am. The caravan consists of three cars at this point: the bus, the mercedes, and the prius. The mercedes and the bus both don't have AC. It was very HOT driving thru the desert. Sharon, who owned the prius hadn't been feeling well for days and was taken to the hospital when arrived in Tucson. The rest of us were greeted by a ceremony in Tucson right around sunset. The leader of the ceremony talked about the necessity to have a hard journey in order to really understand what you are doing and why you are doing what you are doing. He talked about bodies being disposable but ideas solid. An idea will live on past the life of a body. We are portals for ideas. At the end of their dance, he invited us to make a circle and walked us through their dance. A good workout! We stayed here at this house and had a very relaxing evening. Earlier that day I rolled down the window to wave to the bus when passing it on the highway and then it wouldn't roll back up--broken! We tried fixing it at a rest stop but wouldn't budge. Later that night before bed I went to go tape up the window because it felt like rain. Just as I was putting on the last piece of tape, it started to pour, but just for five minutes.
