Somewhere in our journey from Fayetteville, AR, to Richardson, TX, we acquired a new tour member – Carl the Caterpillar. I first noticed Carl’s multi-colored, segmented presence when I looked in the back seat of our van and saw Carl riding on the window, next to Kevin.
What can I say about Carl, with his impressive green, orange, red, yellow and purple body? Carl prefers to face the back of the van so that he can practice his moonwalking skills and guard our luggage (don’t mess with Carl’s wicked caterpillar-fu). Carl’s official tour duties are threefold: to serve both as tour security, group counselor and tour interpreter (he is extremely proficient in regional dialects). Although he can be reserved and stoic at times, Carl is a great source of back seat companionship and words of wisdom. His presence is comforting and reassuring, helping to round out our odd number in the van. Welcome, Carl - here’s to many more Strega Nona adventures!
Until the next adventure…
Ciao!
XOXO-
