Scary Mountain

USA | Saturday, 30 Jan 2010 | Views [344]

I drove through my scariest drive ever.  Well, actually, it's probably a toss-up with the time I drove over HWY 17 from San Jose to Santa Cruz during lots and lost of rain, in the dark.   We drove from Portland, OR to get to Meridian, ID on I-84.  ... Read more >


Sore sore and sore

USA | Thursday, 28 Jan 2010 | Views [382]

So this semester is decidedly different than fall semester.  For one, we so far have had such a lax schedule--only a school or two a week, as oppose to two a day.  For two, I decided I needed to work out this semester. We joined Anytime Fitness.  It ... Read more >


Back in the Game

USA | Monday, 18 Jan 2010 | Views [594] | Comments [1]

Even though we've had work in the last two weeks, I didn't feel officially on the road yet because I was based at home.  It was nice that we got to be in my parent's house, and that I got to show my co-worker San Francisco and Santa Cruz, and introduce ... Read more >


I'll Be Home for Christmas...

USA | Thursday, 24 Dec 2009 | Views [365]

It's Christmas Eve.  I'm sitting in Logan Airport in Boston.  We drove from Royersford, PA last night, and what should have only been a 5 1/2 hour drive ended up being an 8 hour drive with holiday traffic.  But praise God! my flight seems to be on-time.... Read more >


People to See, Places to Be

USA | Saturday, 19 Dec 2009 | Views [664]

We are now in Charlotte, NC.  One of our co-workers got us to stay in a town house on our own to 'house-sit' it.  It's a beautiful place, and I could tell that the woman who lives here and I would get along just beautifully.  Her taste in music and ... Read more >


The Furniture Capital of the World

USA | Saturday, 12 Dec 2009 | Views [629]

Contrary to popular belief, IKEA is not the largest producer of furniture.  High Point, NC is.  And what is High Point?  Well, it's about an hour Northeast of Charlotte.  Apparently some Quakers also migrated down here from Pennsylvania for the better ... Read more >


Beau Fleuve

USA | Monday, 7 Dec 2009 | Views [695]

Of all the theories of how Buffalo got it's name, I like the one about Buffalo being a distorted French phrase meaning 'Beautiful River.' We've been in Buffalo for six days now.  Every morning I wake up and the sky outside looks white and dreary.... Read more >


Away for Thanksgiving...Again

USA | Saturday, 28 Nov 2009 | Views [557] | Comments [1]

I have to stop doing that.  Leaving home during important holidays.  Well, at least this year I had a turkey, as opposed to NOT having a turkey in Turkey on Turkey Day last year. I dropped my co-worker off at the Pittsburgh Int'l Airport on Wednesday ... Read more >


Farm Town

USA | Saturday, 21 Nov 2009 | Views [594]

There's actually a game on Facebook called Farm Town.  It's like the Sims from what I gather.  A friend of mine plays it.  That has nothing to do with me really, except we are staying at a farm this weekend.  These people are named Yoders, like most ... Read more >


Floods and fanciful foods

USA | Tuesday, 17 Nov 2009 | Views [534]

I'm not really sure what the title means. Well, there was this one night in Va Beach that we all made some home-made nacho dip that looked crazy good and tasted delicious and the next day seemed to be the best worse idea ever... ;) Anyway, Kris ... Read more >


Hotels, Couchsurfing, and Church-hopping

USA | Tuesday, 10 Nov 2009 | Views [198]

We are in the middle of nowhere.  Even priceline.com didn't have a hotel to suggest for us and it searches like 50 miles out!  I googled the only hotel in town that wasn't a bed and breakfast.  Of course, there are no couchsurfers within 2 hours of where ... Read more >


The Hazards of Nomadic Life

USA | Saturday, 24 Oct 2009 | Views [239]

I sit in a cozy little home, warm and dry from the dreary and drizzle that is outside my window, and I'm thinking, I could have this in California! I meet and stay with wonderful, interesting, and genuinely good people on on my travels, all the while ... Read more >


The Fall is Back

USA | Monday, 19 Oct 2009 | Views [233]

Finally...this is what fall is suppose to look like!  Good news...there is actually sun in Pennsylvania.  The hill sides in the country look like multi-colored broccoli.  I love the orange the most, but the reds are brilliant.  I think I make my co-... Read more >


Snow in October

USA | Sunday, 18 Oct 2009 | Views [187]

So we are not even a month into Fall yet, and it snowed!  It's only mid-October, and apparently this is the earliest snow central Pennsylvania has seen in a century.  Being from California, I bought a new fleece beanie to guard against the cold.  It ... Read more >


Remember, Remember

USA | Saturday, 3 Oct 2009 | Views [220]

I saw the Holocaust Museum today. Like everyone else, I started the tour of the building on the 4th floor.  When the elevators open, I was assaulted with the black and white image of charred bodies lying in a row.  It took up the whole wall.  Suddenly ... Read more >

Maryland

After Maine, we drove down to Baltimore to couchsurf.  The girl that was hosting us actually was going to a theatre performance that night.  We would have went with her, but we had to be up at an ungodly hour once again.   She had us have our run ... Read more >


Coast to Coast: California to Maine

Well, we have officially trekked across the whole of continental United States in three weeks.  I can't believe we've been on the road for that long--it feels like 3 months. Our shows this week have been riddled with minor pains such as broken sound, ... Read more >
