Once upon a time, this blog’s live logs were meticulously and consistently updated more or less in good time. Two major things have happened, which have greatly impeded my timely work here:
1)The Bluehost suite has had issues with the SSL, issues they have said they rectified, but have not allowed access for my readers or myself. That has been incredibly frustrating for me not to be able to access the site.
2)Wifi. Spoiled by my American assumptions of wireless internet and its ubiquitous abundance, I have seriously underestimated the availability of the internet and all its wonders. Without internet access, I have been crippled in both posting photos and videos to my social media, as well as posting to this site.
Those are more explanations, and I hope do not stand as excuses. Photos and videos I don’t really have an excuse for not updating even with limited wifi via McDonald’s and hostels. I will say even Ana has agreed that the wifi in France in general was sketchy at best, and I would have expected more from my freedom-loving compatriots.
But I digress. In the common vernacular of those who have messaged me asking what has been going on in the last two weeks and counting…my gosh, anything and everything. It has been one of my primary delights sharing my encounters and subsequent musings here, especially while out traveling, where I keep my thoughts and feelings to myself in private journals.
So, in answer to the question “What the hell have I been doing??” I will do my best below to fill in the abridged version as Alfred Hitchcock-esque way of saying “Drama is life with the dull bits cut out.” So the next posts will be categorized according to location in order to catch up to real-time.
So, here goes. You ready for the ultra abridged season recap edition?
Yeah, me neither
