Day 1:
We left on our journey yesterday morning. We were showered, clean, and had rosy visions of how California would be. Our spirits were up, and our caffeine intake levels were low, but we didn´t need any drugs to enhance our motivation to leave.
I´m really happy that we´ve had such good maps...not that anything has been diffcult, except for my trying to figure out the stupid toll roads (btw, FUCK YOU, OKLAHOMA!). Joel drove SOOOOO far yesterday. I think that today we might try a little bit differently. Currently, we are in Elk City, Oklahoma. I think we made it here around 4:00 AM local time (which is CT for those of you who aren´t familiar with time zones).
We have gone through a few cities so far...We left Cincinnati, and decided to go south, so our first city was (I think) Louisville, KY. Next we drove through St Louis, MO which has the gateway to the west. Although I´m fairly certain the Oregon Trail (after conducting a tiny bit of research) started in Independence, MO, and that we´re more on a ¨Grapes of Wrath¨ kind of trail, I still can´t help but thinking about the Oregon Trail and all of the little scenarios in it. Oh gosh, childhood games that were full of learning.
We have also gone through Tulsa, Oklahoma City, and I think that´s it so far for major cities. Our next stop is Amarillo, TX. I´m really looking forward to seeing a few states that I haven´t seen in ages and places that I´ve never been. You can definitely feel free to text either Joel or me, since we have a lot of time to do nothing. Also, I´ve (hopefully) uploaded some pictures onto Facebook, so you can see our journey! Also, I will try to be this ambitious tomorrow with more updates. We´ll see how life goes. Wish us luck, and whatnot.
