Sasha Sagan Instagram – This is my grandmother Pearl, my mother’s mother. She would be 101 today. She was kind of impossible, frankly, and an unreliable narrator. But she lived to travel and wore false eyelashes everyday. And there was much else about her I loved. Whenever anyone in our family would fly across the country she would say, “Sacajawea!” It was a way of celebrating how quickly we’re now able to cross this continent thanks to the magic (brought to you by science) of air travel. A way of highlighting how lucky we were that it wasn’t the grueling journey it had been in the first years of 19th Century. Later, after she was gone, I thought what a credit it was to her that she didn’t say “Lewis & Clark!” instead. | Posted on 15/Sep/2020 23:20:22
