I went on a road trip over the past few weeks. Just me and three friends. We went from Knoxville, TN to Denver, CO to Salt Lake City, UT to Boise, ID to Seattle, WA to Portland, OR to Eugene, OR to Santa Clara, CA to San Francisco, CA to Yosemite National Park to Las Vegas, NV to Grand Canyon National Park to Albuquerque, NM to Oklahoma City, OK to Memphis, TN to Nashville, TN back to Knoxville, TN. We covered over 6800 miles in thirteen days. Nearly one hundred hours of driving. The trip was one of the best things I've ever done. I saw some of the most beautiful landscapes in America, and probably the world. I walked through some of the most beautiful and eclectic cities in the country. I ran a mile on a track that has hosted some of the fastest runners, and best races, in the history of the world. I ate some great food, and walked in the Pacific Ocean.
The one place above all that I was most impressed with was the Pacific Northwest. Washington and Oregon are my two favorite states I've ever been to. The cities (Seattle and Portland in particular) were beautiful and fun and down to earth. I love them. I want to live there.

Another Land
The soul goes wandering
because it's fixed on some other land
The mind leaves the brain behind
because it's trying to find a better sky
And still he dreams, And still he dreams
Another place to run his race and leave his world behind.
because it's fixed on some other land
The mind leaves the brain behind
because it's trying to find a better sky
And still he dreams, And still he dreams
Another place to run his race and leave his world behind.
