Travel Changes


If you look at my actual map that I have made you will notice that it isn't looking like my planned map. Angie says she is complicating things, but I say she has made them more interesting. If you also notice on my actual map of my travels I have visited Logan a handful of times. Angie is the reason. We are becoming good friends and are very comfortable around each other. She took me shopping the other day, or should I say I asked her to come shopping, and we had a great time. I have never really been shopping for a whole day with a girl but Angie made it very comfortable for me as I felt very out of place. We both bought those black hats we are wearing together. Since I am still traveling, we are in an open relationship, and that means I will probably see more of Angie when I get done with the Southern and Mid-Eastern states.

My motorcycle had troubles in Logan after I was up in Yellowstone for a couple of days. I was planning on moving onto South Dakota, but I wanted to see Angie again so I came back, only 400 miles no biggie. It turns out that it was good that I did. I bought a battery for my bike 2 weeks ago and in Logan it went out. The battery was a dud. My bike also started leaking a little gas, not much, but enough to put the bike to rest after 3000 miles since July 3. In reality that is quite a long ways on a bike, but I didn't get all the way across on it. Just lots of driving to see Angie and other friends close by.

I will be flying to Dallas this Friday and continuing my travels through public transportation, hitch hiking, and any means possible. I anticipate being gone for another month before I decide to settle down for the month of September and finish and online class I need to start Grad School in the fall of 2009. After that I plan on traveling to Central America for a couple of months and learning Spanish. Of course, as I am well known for, plans can change.
