OH NO!

Everyone is gone!  I mean, almost.  Evan and Sarah and Lisa are still here, but that's like half the people we started the summer with!  As Becca said, our last show went fantastically well, and we are now officially going our separate ways.  The four of us are currently in a wonderful hotel in Rapid City, South Dakota, just a few miles north of Mount Rushmore.  Tomorrow we plan to see the faces, have lunch in Deadwood (yeah, like the HBO show town), and then high-tail it to Bozeman MT for the night, after which we will make our final leg of the trip home.  We're all a little giddy to be so close.  Maybe that's just me...

News from the road between London and Rapid City

Minnesota and South Dakota are so flat!  You can see for miles!  And you never get pulled over for speeding, because cops have literally nowhere to hide!  Also, the speed limit is like 105 mph, and the green machine can't even go that fast, so it's all good.

Evan and I are really really bad at thinking of animals.

There's nothing like The Sound Of Music to really wake you up and get you through that early morning groggyness.

Speaking of groggy, I feel we would be remiss if we did not give what you might call a "shout out" to Wes Battle, Lisa's dashing older brother who put us up in his place in Milwaukie last night, and then watched "A Few Good Men" with us and recited like half the lines with me.  Thanks Wes.

Which reminds me: Milwaukie.  Not a bad little city really, famous for breweries, so how bad can they be?  We found a little bar for dinner after we pulled into town and sampled some of the said beers, and oh my god was it good to have something with flavor again.  Also, I had fried chicken, which I haven't had in months and it was awesome.

That's all for now, more to come from farther down the road.
