Abe Lincoln
Well it was just another manic monday for jeff and austen. We left our friend josh's at 7am (which meant getting up at 6am...) to take our other friend ben to the bus station and so we could get on the road again! We made our way to Washington DC before lunch and decided to look around! Neither of us had ever been there, so it was quite the experience. The abraham lincoln memorial, washington monument and others! here's a video from the WWII memorial:



now we are in the "rodeside inn" in roanoke virginia! its a pretty classy place. we had kinda planned on camping tonight, but hit some serious snow/fog/bad weather on the way, so we splurged for the $60 hotel!

anyway, it was a full day, and we hope to get to Nashville tomorrow to visit our friend June! Stay tuned.

Cathedral




This is supposedly the biggest cathedral in the world- right in New York City. Sorry for the poor cinematography I always forget when you turn your camera, it doesn't turn on the computer.

Side note:
Apparently I'm (Jeff) a famous person magnet because we saw Alec Baldwin when we were in the city. That puts me at 2 for 2 as far as famous person sitings in New York go.

On the Road Again

We packed up and left L'abri this morning and made our way down to the Big Apple. It was sad to leave after making so many good friends and great memories, but we're looking forward to our impending trek. We're currently in Queens at my (Jeff) cousins apartment and plan to spend the day in the city tomorrow. This is a quick update and the beginning of a more consistent account of our travels as gallivant across the country.
