*** The next three stops were in Mexico. Due to confusing conversions, a general reluctance to provide a receipt, and a filling station that dispensed fuel from a jerry can, all the numbers are approximate.

**** Another brief interruption of the thrilling rollercoaster that is the price of gas… If you’re at all curious, in the summer of 2008 it cost us exactly $844.55 in fuel to drive our 1995 Volvo sedan from the East coast of the United States (Massachusetts) in a relatively straight line to Homer, AK. I’m not including here receipts from our time spent living in Alaska. Thanks for humoring me, I’m a little numbers obsessed. Now back to our regularly scheduled program and the return drive. ****
