I travel simply to see the beauty in things. To enjoy the scenery without being reminded of the destruction we are contantly causing.
This weekend was no exception, as I traveled first by airplane to Richmond, VA. Then hopped into a car to drive 2 1/2 hours at 3:30 am, not getting to my destination until 6am.
The next day (well actually that someday) we went to the Grand Caverns and found ourselves 200 feet below the earths surface, surrounded by amazing structures naturally formed over millions of years.
The tour guide was monotone and hard to understand. She was blonde, cute, and could have been really great if she was just a bit spunkier. Luckily the caves, good peeps, and my own jokes kept me entertained. Somehow, the earth likes to make things look phallic, it's just part of nature. I mean it is a cave...
After being down under, we sored to the top of a mountain range to ride along a beautiful road in Shenandoah Park. There is a road that goes straight through that was curvy and mountainous, which reminded me a lot of Cali. We took the interstate to get back quicker, though I did get through the mountains before nightfall! Way to see the light!
The next day was driving back day. We drove from VA, to Maryland (through DC), to Delaware, and finally to PA where we stopped. Yet, I had to keep going being the furthest away, so i hopped the NJ transit train to Penn Station. And even though I made it to the city, there were still 3 trains to take before i was home.
I could have gone on and on...
(with traveling, not talking....OK talking too)
