On The Road Again


We like to be on the road, and today we definitely got our fill.
An 11 hour drive between my Mom's in Northwest Indiana, to
our stop for the night in North Little Rock, Arkansas. We made this
trip a few years ago, and it's a nice diversion from our usual trip
home via Nebraska or Kansas. Remember how we were freezing
at the Cubs game a few days ago? Well, today we more than made
up for it with temperatures in the 90's and the humidity about the
same. Driving along the Mississippi River in Missouri and Arkansas,
we could smell the river and the aftermath of the flooding that
happened a few weeks ago in that area. We also heard a huge
buzzing coming from the trees along the road. It turns out that
they were cicadas. They only breed every 13 years and apparently,
this is the year. Overall, it was a long, but leisurely drive. Tomorrow,
we head toward Dallas.

Hi Tom,

I've just stumbled across your blog here, and I thought you might be interested in my own travels for the next year. I am going to be touring the U.S. and staying with different churches of different denominations for a month each. You can see my blog at www.yearofexploration.com. If you would like to put my blog on your site, then I will kindly do the same and refer people to your blog! Thanks, and keep on exploring!
