Although it took us what seemed to be five hours longer to get home than I had planned, we did make good time on our trip back. We unfortunately had one casualty..... a meadowlark. During the early morning hours he flew up in front of our car and went SPLAT! We didn't think anything of it until this morning when we stopped at a gas station and this woman walked up to us and said "Did you know you have a bird stuck to the front of your car?!" Indeed, he had planted himself firmly in the front grill as our makeshift hood ornament. As pretty as his yellow tail feathers were, we decided to lay him to rest in his home state of Montana. We ALMOST had a much bigger casualty (a giant deer) during the night, but luckily Alfredo had lightening quick reflexes and swerved around him at the last moment. We felt like we were in one of those car commercials where logs fall off a semi in front of you and animals try and run you off the road, only it's not as glamerous when you think of what would have happened if you DID end up with a deer for a third passenger. [shudder]
We had great weather all the way back except for one valley in Montana where it suddenly started pelting giant raindrops onto our windshield out of nowhere. Only, on closer inspection, they weren't raindrops...... they were bugs!! YUCK!! We had somehow crossed paths with the insect super highway and they all decided to fly straight at us! It was the most disgusting thing ever (besides the dead bird hood ornament)! We couldn't use the windshield wipers because they smeared the bugs so it just got worse and worse! Finally we had to stop at a gas station to scrape them off because it had gotten so thick that we couldn't see out the front window. The front of our car looked like it was covered in tan colored snow. bleh......
I counted my digital photos and I believe I took somewhere in the neighborhood of 2000 photos.... maybe more. If you want to see them, well, it's at your own risk! ;) It could take hours!
Thanks to all of you who joined us on our little adventure. Tune in next time when we travel to the hot and sunny tropics of Argentina.... ha ha. I wish!! We love to travel, but I have to admit - it feels great to be home! :)

And I do have some questions for you if it's allright. Is it just me or does it look like some of the comments look as if they are left by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are writing on additional online sites, I'd like to keep up with

Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any
problems with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due
to no back up. Do you have any methods to prevent hackers?
