RE: NeedleworkMonday! This post is not about felting.
You make work-travel sound nice... beautiful landscapes, searching for hidden treasures and knitting :-D I almost believed you.
Or perhaps traveling in the US is different from Germany... my travel was more like planned 6 hours of relaxed knitting in the train but spending instead 11 hours without air-condition in an overstuffed compartment with malfunctioning toilets. Every time! Then arriving and noticing that my apartment is 4 km away from the next shop without public transportation, no WLAN and a failing mobile connection. This were the joys of working at beautiful (secluded) places. Everyone thought it is so nice to teach in a nature reservation or directly at a beach... but getting there and the infrastructure... sigh.... ok I am laughing at my whining... sorry
I hope you come back well and have time to reconquer your felting ;-D
It isn't always perfect but I try to go with the flow most of the time. Often the infrastructure is lacking and the weather is terrible. But having a project to work on and a book to read always helps.
And sometimes the geocache has been destroyed by a lawn mower and all you can do is gather the pieces and hope you didn't miss anything important in the mud.
Not the adventure you want, but the one you got, so you go with the flow and hope for a fun one at the next stop. :)
I might never get to felt, but at least he is having fun.
