The Selle Journal

Day One and half of Day Two:

So leaving the house was harder than either of us thought it would be. I was pretty sad actually. 

Once we were on the road though, we started to feel right at ease. That's a great part of life: Once you let go of one thing and accept that things will turn out fine, then greater things will come.

Going through Virginia wasn't anything too new for us. We have been all over that part of the country, especially Karl. It was too near our home, so it didn't feel that particularly special to us. The day was cloudy and gloomy the whole time.

We did hit a snafu once we hit Roanoke. We bought a gas can unknowing that it leaks out of the spout. So, in all of our PG county wisdom (aka ghetto), Karl tied it up in the back so that it can't tip over and leak all over our car. (I know, but we couldn't return it. We threw away the receipt and intentionally ripped off the tags.)

The next day, we crossed the line to Tennessee! I was really excited since I've never been here before. In Tennessee, you can already feel the South. HUGE crosses everywhere!

We had an amazing lunch! Thanks to Karl's sister Tanya, who just came back from Alaska, we ate some halibut! Seriously, it was SO good.

Right now we are zooming to Louisiana to visit my childhood friend, Mie. I'll post more an that once we get there.
