The End of an Era

*Editors note: I started this blog in August while I was on the road, but never got the chance to finish it. Also, if you're looking for the full blog experience you should open this in another window while you read this sad sad blog.

I don't quite know how to say this so I'm just going to give it to you straight - I sold the scooter. I can only imagine the ramifications of this news, surely they're will be riots in the streets, major city shutdown, heck, I wouldn't be shocked if the NASDAQ dropped a couple of hundred points. With that said, it's something that had to be done. I believe Dumbledore said it best: "There is a time when we must choose between what is easy and what is right." And while riding the Vespa from Denver to Boston might have been the right thing to do, it certainly wouldn't be easy, and so I sold it.

So I'm moving out to Boston! With the help of Mom & Dad (thanks M&D) I bought a 1998 Jeep and am making the 36 hour trip from Denver to Boston via Minneapolis. I'm on day three of what should be a four day trip and so far have passed though a few main cities - Omaha, Minneapolis, Madison, Chicago, Buffalo. I never really stopped to see the sites, but from what I saw out my window zipping by them at 75 mph they looked nice. Lots of tall buildings. As for Cleveland, I'm on the rooftop of my hostel and the city definitely passes the tall buildings test.
