Ufff!

Ugh! It has been a very long day of driving. I am so glad i am not sitting in the car right now. Today is the longest travel day on my journey, so i am grateful to have it over with already. Twelve hours in a car is pretty long. I was pretty entertained, however. I listened to music for a while and then listened to a book on CD. Thank you Kristen for that tip! 

I left my USB cord in the car otherwise i would post some pictures that i took from the car. Most of them have the road at the bottom because i didn't really get out and explore anywhere except public restrooms and gas stations. 

I saw a lizard at a rest stop in Nevada that freaked this woman out as she was going to open the door to the toilets. It was kinda funny. 

I found eastern Nevada to be very lovely. The western half after the Sierra's was a bit unattractive and sparse. Turns out i haven't actually ever been through eastern Nevada. I have been to Salt Lake City when i was 19 and searching for an undergraduate program in Pocatello Idaho. I am sad to say that i will not be exploring SLC either. I am trying to haul ass to Denver in time to have a BBQ with Pam, Amanda, Ted, and Emilly. (I AM SOOOOOO EXCITED TO SEE THEM!!!!!)

i hypothesize arriving by two pm... or three. I am going to try to get out of here by seven tomorrow morning. I forgot about the time difference too. I think its kind of strange to pass through a time zone... i mean what if you are straddling mountain time and central time? where does that put you? On the half hour? I remember my geography class and it was like a minute a mile... so this time difference thing is totally whack. I love how that is my conclusion. haha

Ahhh well i suppose i have had too much time on my own already! Talk to me in a week!! haha

I am really looking forward to my solo camping time. I think i should have brought a knife... or utensils or something. I could always just eat peanut butter and jelly. 

I ate dinner with one of the people staying at the hostel here in Salt Lake. His name was.... actually i don't remember at this moment in time. He was from New York City. He said that he had been traveling for three years!! That is crazy! He said that he was working on Wall Street at one point and decided to quit that and travel. Now he designs his own outdoor clothing line. He is going to be showing his stuff at a show with lines like Patagonia and North Face... Pretty interesting actually. He also does a travel food blog/show that he wants to sell to the Discovery Channel. He was totally a New Yorker and we had conversations that reminded me of Kristen because it just kept going and we didn't even know each other! 

It is also nice to have wireless internet. My mum's house is on the DSL so its nice to use my computer again! 

Anyway. I am gonna go watch an episode of Lost on my Netflix and head to bed. Gotta get up early! 

Hope all is well with everyone wherever you are!
