Candlewood Suites Lincoln

... another portion of America seen from the windows of my car. Fortunately the time passed quickly as we continued listening to our Michael Connelly book on tape (book on ipod? recorded book? i dunno. none have the same ring). We're regular detectives by this point the way we've been throwing out all sorts of conjectures about the murders. Harry Bosch is keeping us on our toes...erm...on the edges of our ...

... monogramed JD towels and wash cloths would look good in any Master Bathroom.<br><br>Once I put my tongue back into my mouth we headed west along I80. At Des Moines we cut down I35 to route 34 then south on 59 and back west on 2 into Lincoln, NE. This is the real America, where real people do the real work. Where homes are seperated by vaste fields of grain. Where towns are few and far ...

But it's going to be amazing and i just know everyone will be reading this and commenting to keep me happy and entertained... RIGHT????!!!!!<br><br>Also, i will miss my cats. ;)<br>

Well, it's been a long time planning and it's almost here. I've got only 46 hours left before i leave for France. I do hope you'll join me on my 2 week excursion to Europe. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you may even be appalled, but in any case you'll have nearly as much fun as me (ok, let's be honest, not even close, but you'll be alright). Talk to you soon!!<br><br>TTFN <br>

But I have had bad dreams where we leave too soon with unfinished business, forgetting to empty the apartment, cancel our lease, forgetting my bag of clothes, or the netbook. <br>Then I had a good bye dream. It was very moving. <br><br> It's hard to believe it's happening. <br> <br>

... walking around and realized that it must have been move in day recently because there were kids everywhere. We spent some time on their strip and then decided to keep driving instead of staying the night there. We have a long drive to our next stop, Boulder, CO.

... outdoors at an indian restaurant called "The Oven." Everything was prepared to our liking and it was fun to people watch as the locals passed by. Afterwards, we popped in and out of a few stores on the main street and then snapped some photos in the historic haymarket district. <br>All and all,a wonderfully relaxing day in the mid-west. Stay tuned to hear the latest on our next 450 mile jaunt to.....

... visit with Sally. She enjoys living in LIncoln again. Some of the town's features she likes include the many parks, walking trails, and an excellent public library system. <br><br>It was wonderful to be able to sleep in, if just for an extra two hours. I left Sally's house at the extremely "LATE" time of 10:30 am to head east toward St. Louis.

Hola chicos! Just getting ready to leave for the Dominican Republic and we want to make sure everyone can get to this blog and read! We are flying out on the 12th of May and will arrive that night. The next day we are leaving Santo Domingo for our first destination, Bayahibe! Catch ya then!

... the next - are farm houses and barns and rusted old cars. the hill themselves are dusty yellow or burnt brown. it is not corn season, so the fields have been striped down to the earth. but they look receptive and eager to sprout gold again. i came Nebraska to visit a friend and to see the night sky she had told me about. in the bigness of the empty fields, in the bigness of the empty sky, beyond the light and smoke of the city, there is room for the sun and moon and the stars ...
