Returning to my roots [My visit to Washington State]
I am currently on my way from Los Angeles to Cedar Rapids, IA. I have a friend that was heading east by car and we decided to ride together. He currently lives in the same place I was born, and lived the first part of my life.
I arrived in the Pacific Northwest and was immediately taken aback by the trees. I remembered them being big and being everywhere, but I had convinced myself that I must have exaggerated it in my mind over the years. The sheer amount of trees, and bushes is amazing. The air looks and smells so clean after being in Los Angeles for the bulk of the last year. As I stand outside looking around I can feel a connection between this place and myself. The trees, air, sounds (or lack of), people, phrases used, and even the giant Washington slugs, have helped bring back so many memories that were once forgotten. The Trip:Along the way we will be making stops in Utah, Colorado, and Missouri. I'm planning to take a lot of pictures and post them to either this blog, or a separate posterous specifically for the trip. Any which way, keep tabs here or on my twitter for update links.
