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.

Rainy Day Adventure.

This is a video from a little adventure we had two weeks ago.

Jeff's lovely friend, and our travelling companion sarah. (also the only picture he took all day that has a person in it)

we travelled through new hampshire, thanks for quick picture taking skills sarah

As promised here are pictures from our adventure to Portland!

Other than taking adventures to far away lands we have not been up to too much. As a canadian in america though, i am very excited about the upcoming election! i think it's pretty cool that i will be here during this momentus time! the countdown is on. oh and american thanksgiving, looking forward to that too. the other countdown is on.

please forgive the briefness and poor quality of our blogs. we seem to only be able to do it here and there at the library for 45 minutes. hope everyone reading is well!

Update

Just a quick update while I'm (jeff) at the library. Not too much to report- we took a day trip up to Maine last Thursdays (pictures to come) and we were lucky enough to attend a good Lutheran church for Reformation Sunday. A high emphasis on Lutheran. It was good. I'm not good at multi-tasking. more later.
