		<description><![CDATA[We were on the road and mostly out of touch for fourteen days, my wife and I.  Being on the road on a long trip can be a confusing vortex of changing time zones and of landmarks visited and of people met.  Accents change, and scenery changes, and the bed you sleep in is a [...]]]></description>
