Best in the southland.

While we were at L'abri we were there with quite a few people from the south. Almost all of them could hardly believe we had never been to a Waffle House. Waffle House is this wonderfully magical chain of restaurants where they serve good food at a better price. We were tempted to stop in at one many times along the road and finally did in Little Rock, AK. It was about 4, apparently a slow time as we were the only customers in there. The service was great- Renae treated us real nice. We enjoyed some waffles and a mighty fine cup of coffee. The experience couldn't have been better.

Now that we are in California, I'm not sure we'll have another opportunity to get to one. The last one we saw was in Dallas.

This was at the Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona. Sorry for the up close shots.

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.
