Finally made it home, it was a truly great break, we covered 5018 miles, drove through 16 States, saw amazing landscapes and scenery, collected 108 words for my research, and worked with a group of young people to develop 10 themes. Overall the conversations and words around the research, suggest a disconnection between values and actions of people, where life chasing the American dream gets confused with actually having time to live it. It will take a while to develop the research further, but it may be that this general observation will play a more central role.
