Rest of the Road





After Tennessee, we had several more states to cross before we got to the best one ever. Here is a list of observations about each.


Virginia- mountainous like Tennessee, but the greens were not as green nor the blues as blue. There were many cows. Just like TN, it took too long to drive through!


Maryland- finally a strip mall or two to make us feel at home. What's that? An angry driver. I can almost smell NJ. ugly state flag- put it away.


Deleware- del e where? ugly license plates.


New Jersey- beautiful and crowded. first Wawa spotted moments after boarder crossed. also first black cop seen in 800 miles. makes ya proud.

On my way to Birmingham


Before I can be ready for my international journeys, I need to experience some intranational adventures. It is best to know yourself before you can know others; I'm going to say that is interchangeable with travels. I need to know my country a little more, and then I can know others. I am currently on my way to Birmingham, Alabama. I would post this immediately; however, the Wi-Fi costs almost ten bucks for a two hour long flight, lame.


Once I reach the all too desired destination of Alabama, where is it currently reaching above 100 degrees F daily, I will drive back to New Jersey. The purpose, outside of national discovery, is to move MacAttack, my bestest buddy, back to the state where she belongs.


That is right internet; I have Jersey Pride. Give me a bagel, the shore, the pine barrens, jug handles, tomatoes, white corn, our one crappy skiable mountain, and the most regional mentality for a state of its size. I will miss it.


Jackie is moving home, and I will be her driving buddy. I hope to explore the south east states on our way home.


Last week I did some exploring; however, there was not much to report on the state of Ohio. Cleveland has about three sky scrappers, and it took almost a half hour to get anywhere. The gay bar, yes I think there was only one, was big into the drag scene, and I am always a fan of drag queens.
