On the road again

Well, today is day three of our adventures on the road. Thursday we left from Chicago and headed towards Colorado with the intention of stopping wherever we felt like it. That ended up being the glorious state of Nebraska (well, not-quite-glorious-but-surprisingly-pleasant), but not before cruising through Iowa.















Next came the trip to Colorado, seeing our wonderful friend Angela (and a whole crew of her friends) and gawking at the mountains.


After being stunned by the drastically different geography found within the state of Colorado (desert to mountains to desert again) we headed off to Utah.












In Utah we experienced vast plains of pretty desolate land, probably the loneliest road we've experienced thus far, and even a little bit of snow falling from the sky (we couldn't figure out if it was rain or bugs at first).










Well, now, it is late, I am tired and in much need of sleep to prepare for the adventures to come tomorrow!

Talk to you in a few days!

I thought it would never happen!

Well, it's finally happened. I broke down and updated my blog (just for you Rach). Now all you can follow along the adventures of Mark and Noel on the road. In case you're just joining us, I'm meeting up with my good friend Mark in Chicago (he's from Stouffville, ON but out there for a conference) and driving to Oregon where he'll be working. Just for kicks we're going by way of California. Unfortunately I won't make it all the way to Oregon, and he'll drop me off in Reno, NV.

Yesterday I flew from Buffalo to Chicago and our adventure commenced.

Today I had the chance to run around Chicago before hitting the road tomorrow.

Yes, it's that painting!
