August 6: Home!

The trip home to Boston was, objectively considered, an ordeal unto itself. We boarded our bus late on the night of the 5'th, arrived in Colorado Springs in the wee hours of the 6'th, flew to Minneapolis, spent three hours waiting for our connecting flight, and finally flew back into Boston. During this time we were sleeping wherever and whenever we could. Funny, it didn't seem so bad; by now we were used to the hardship and, after all, we were going home!
