Day 38...HOME

The weather did not look good but the forecast for Tahoe was good in the morning with storm in the evening and night. We decided to just drive home. We took highway 50 and stopped at Carson city , Nevada. It is the state capital and has the necessary state building, the museum and the old town and of course the casinos.

We walked around the old town a little. Museums were closed and we were in a hurry to drive on. But, we did see the interesting tit bit about Pony Express. The mail riders ( pony express) delivered mail for a year without missing a schedule and losing only one letter and one rider killed by Indians.


Once we got to the Sierras, we started feeling at home already. Tahoe was beautiful as always. In the bay area we were greeted with the familiar commute traffic on the freeways. I have to admit this was the worst traffic we had seen in last six weeks. But, the weather is perfect and it is HOME.

Just arrived.
It has been a wonderful journey. I learned a lot about the country, the people and most of all about myself. I want to thank the friends and family : Ektare, Leona, Jim , Becky who hosted us so graciously and Smita, Anupam ,Shalini and rest of you who supported us every day by coming along on the virtual journey. Without you , it would not have been such fun.
Good night and keep i ntouch. We are home ,so come for a visit and let's plan more journeys together.
