Legacy

Following my father’s death last year, my mother decided that she’d like to have her three children accompany her to visit one of my parents’ dearest friends, a wealthy Indian industrialist for whom my father had long done consulting work. Neither I nor my sisters had ever met this friend, but we’d heard a lot of stories about him. It was determined that we’d be able to stay at his daughter’s house, so we’d only need to pay for our air fares and incidentals, and as such it seemed like a very affordable yet exotic holiday. In fact, the only downside will be that, as I’ve already been to Italy and Bali recently, this jaunt to India definitely makes me Elizabeth Gilbert. Oh, the shame.

A voyage like this requires intrepid companions, and so I found two Lego adventurers worthy of the task. As they’re clearly modeled after a certain famous swashbuckling archaeologist, I decided to name them appropriately after US states with a solid Welsh surname. “Indiana” is kind of problematic (I think you mean “Nativeamericana”, bigots!), so I selected the two least controversial states I could think of. And so Delaware and Maryland Llewellyn are packed and ready to go!
