On to Vancouver

I've had a great time seeing friend and family in California. I started in LA with drinking and good Mexican food. Then I took the train down to San Diego. I highly recommend the Surfliner, watching the sun set over the Pacific from the train was beautiful. In San Diego there was more eating and drinking with friends. I also spent a day wandering around Balboa Park. I used to spend a fair amount of time there growing up so it was fun to visit that part of my childhood. I took a lot of pictures there and I'll try to post them as soon as possible. Tonight I board the train for Seattle then get on a bus for Vancouver to see my sister Danika. I won't get to Vancouver until 12:30am on Friday.

Off to Kansas City

I'm looking forward to some bar-b-q and beer. But I first have to tackle the eight hour train ride.

In Chicago

I've been in Chicago since Saturday and am staying with college friends (Malcolm, Micah and their daughter Anabel, for those of you who know them) in Skokie at the moment. It should be fairly obvious that I finally managed to upload some more photos.

Underway

I left Boston on Sunday morning, taking the train down to NY for a one night stay. Currently I'm in DC imposing on the good natures of some friends from Grinnell.
