Humble Stumblings

Read the June issue of Numéro Cinq, everyone!

And not just because DG has been kind enough to publish my humble stumblings, but because the whole issue will be beautiful and fiery and, if I know DG as well as I think I do, more than a little bit sexy.

So from where I sit in lush and steamy Carthage, Tennessee, I raise my glass to you, Doug: for putting my essay, "American Roads," on the Cinq, and also for using a better picture of me this time than the one I foolishly provided for you when you published "On White." Little did I know my name's Google results would forever show, first and foremost, a picture of me preparing to drink water from the Ganges.

Meanwhile: Happy June, dear readers! Summer on.

Blogger Tracking

I recently discovered Blogger tracking. I know, I know. I have had this blog for six months (six months!! six months on the road!!) and I just discovered tracking. Still...muy interesante!!! And better late than never.

For example:

This week, people viewed my blog from Our Bountiful Nation (the US), Argentina (loyal Donigan), Iran (!?!), Belgium, Germany, Russia, and Singapore. Singapore...is that you, Sascha?

In addition, people used the following search terms to find my blog:

"and I can assure you that our world won't die as the papers say"
"good intentions outweigh good style"
"patagonia thirts road foodsteps" (? no se.)
"kate wellesley patagonia guatemala"
"belt she is wrapping"
"bottle of wine"
"dangers in Patagonia"
"norma shut off"
and,
"the jw marriott parking lot six"

Whatever it takes, I suppose. Thanks for seeking me out, compadres! And have a lovely Sunday. xo
