New Mexico

On Saturday night I took a redeye flight back to DC. On Monday morning I departed in my Scion tC for the promised land of California.

Yes, over 1800 miles later I am now in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Thus far, the trip has been complete shit. I think I would have enjoyed the whole thing, except I picked up a virus of some sort the ONE DAY I was in NoVA and have been deathly sick since then.

During my epic travels thus far I have passed through such towns as Knoxville, Nashville, Little Rock, Palestine, Oklahoma City, Amarillo, Carthage, Memphis, Sparta, and Lebanon. Also, shout out to all the people at Christiansburg a.k.a. Virginia Tech.

It's been pretty wild. There have been some pretty dramatic changes in terrain, climate, and plant life as I drove across the states. Especially after hitting Arkansas, lots of flat terrain allows you to see really far off into the distance for some picturesque settings. Especially when the sun starts to set, the horizons take on some soft gradients and you are treated to a beautiful panoramic view of sky and earth.

Anyways. It's been a pretty boring trip thus far since I've been sick. Just lots of bugs dying on my windshield, then some summer showers washing my windshield, then more bugs, etc. etc. I'm gonna turn in early and hope I wake up not sick anymore. Tomorrow I do the grand canyon, and the day after that, Blue Man Group at the Venetian in Vegas!

Cheers,
