I left New Hampshire around 9am. It was too late to watch the sunrise, but perfect timing to watch a blanket of overcast clouds split into two, allowing the sun to spray its concentrated ray of light through them and onto the mountains. The intermittent trails of snow streaming from the mountain peak to the…

was snowed in last night, but ready to explore today. I made my way to the epicenter of all that is French in Canada; Quebec City.
I have heard that downtown is the closest thing to Old Europe in North America. We shall see.
I made my way the suburbs that typically surround all modern cities and slowly made

Ahhhh,,rest.
I managed to sleep in a warm bed last night. I’m not sure how “where I sleep” has become such a topic of conversation, but it seems to be something of interest these days.

After a long night of sleep and talking with an uninterested reporter yesterday, I am ready to take on the new day.

Today, I want to see

I pulled over much earlier than anticipated last night due to the blowing snow. Much like the night prior to last night, visibility was nearing zero and I didn’t think I was safe to continue.
I have a tendency to travel “the path less taken” when….

Nov. 21, 2008 – Port Clinton, OH. (via Detroit)

Day two of “fighting the bug” has proven to be even more disappointing than day one.

It felt good to shower, eat some hot chili from Wendy’s, and finish the night off by snuggling up in some warm blankets.
While the sleep last night was great, especially for my…
