For Diane Goodman, one step away from the doors of the school in which she taught last June turned into the journey of an adventurer.
The following is an excerpt from Goodman’s blog, Senora Goodman’s Sabbatical Year at shantimaya1957.weebly.com, which chronicles her journey from Montana to La Casa Azul in the Ledger-Transcript. We’ll bring you her photos, musings, lessons and revelations over the next few weeks. Keep reading Along the Way for more of Goodman’s story.
July 15: Heading westward
The long paved trail west takes us with car and bikes through many states and out to our final destination of Montana. We hope to climb the fire tower where my husband had a lookout in the Bitterroot Range when he turned 21 years young.
We will be celebrating his 80th birthday by climbing back up to the tower and we will look out for bears and lightning storms; just like he did when he was 21 years old.
