Car Trip

It’s not very pleasant, having to sit in a plane for over 15 hours. And it is just as unpleasant sitting in a car for over 12 hours, literally unmoving. I didn’t mind so much though, for some reason. I think it’s because I was riding on people’s generosity in taking me along.

But still, having feet stuck to the ground without being able to move more than a quarter of an inch to each side is crazy. Add to that not much space to move my arms, with my bags pressing on me. And yes, that picture above is off my legs, literally in the same position for the entire trip because there was no way i could move my feet. And trying to put my feet up wasn’t much better.

Arrived well past midnight, having lost one hour due to time difference. And slept on the couch in the family’s house. Can’t be more grateful to them. And thankful that I arrived safely. God knows how dangerous highways can be, especially with the rainy weather, slick roads, and an SUV that had the trunk piled to the ceiling - driver could not use the rearview mirror.

Passing view of a certain city. Must go there one day. Someday.
