... s in the TRUNK, let me get it for you". At this he allowed me to exit the car and go to the trunk with him. When I opened it up all he could see was cases and plastic bags from the Vegas outlets.
He could see that this was going to be a massive task and he might miss the next donut run, so handed me back my license and said "Look, just get back in your car and merge into the lane and be on your way. And don't cross the yellow lines." I explained to him that ...

A lovely day -- with an easy drive out to Sacramento, a good day visiting Sac State (which is a very pretty campus, especially this time of year, with the leaves changing), then an easy drive home. Definitely a long day, and I was exhausted by the end of it, but not a bad one at all.

... got one too since it was one of those self wash things with a pressure gun (FUN) we also gave her another oil change but this was later on in Yuba ( the dude there was really nice, he complemented both our lack of direction and the paint job on Betsy)

... Townsend.
It really was a good time....

Even though we were there to see family and friends, we still got to see and do some new things, just to keep the spirit of the road trip alive. Of course when you think of California, you think of the Gold Rush, among many other things, but we both tried to become experts in panning for gold. I ended up scoring quite a bit of gold, but the majority ...

What a great weekend I was able to spend with Ken and Terry plus Nessa and Vicky (the dogs). A lot was had at the Apple Festival in Apple Hill; eating a drinking everything apple along with a great conversation on "Choice". Sunday was spent in ...

... conquerable, maybe just a light dusting from the mountain-tops, but it was soon very clear that we weren't only ill-epuipped for the ice storm that just hit us, but we didn't have the choice to stop as we winded around the slicked roads, skidding between lanes with no visibility of a breakdown lane or any exits in our path. After spending about 2 hours with a visibility of 5 feet, having only short breaks in the snow when it came back ten-fold within minutes ...

August 27, 2007 Strangers Kiss in Buenos Aires We went from summer to winter in a few hours. Bolivia was beneath our hurling jet for some unknown period of time. We crossed the equator. The slanting late winter light and the abundant chilly air here have put me in a mood -- a good one. At lunch I felt like I was drugged up really good, a nice buzz. From the food, the music, and watching the people do their thing just living here. When we arrived this morning ...

... acting funny and since we were about to head into the middle of nowhere, we decided to have someone take a look at it. We used some points to check ourselves into a Marriott Courtyard and made an appointment for first thing in the morning. We didn't expect for the whole three-month trip to go by without a delay or mishap, but we didn't expect them to start so soon! Still, our schedule is flexible and we'll be on our way again soon... hopefully.

... wooden sidewalks sounding like a cowboy. Couldn't find anywhere to watch the England game though. Met up with my great Uncle Karl for a "cook-out", fantastic barbeque at his house out of Sacramento. Gabrielle met some of my clan - my great Aunt Evelyn took us on a tour of the Bute mountains, and met a distant relatives Deanne and Dakota - very cute!

... the other person really wants to try it. When I'm on my own, there's none of that. (This is not to say that I never want to travel with other people again, just that I have no qualms about setting off to explore the world on my own.) I definitely like my alone time to think and read, so I'm not too prone to loneliness, but it was also so easy to spend time with other people, since you can meet SO many more people when traveling alone. As for fear...it was never an issue. I ...
