Road Tripping Across The U.S.

Missouri

I stopped at a rest stop in Missouri and ended up meeting this couple that were also in a van! They had some pretty bad problems with theirs, but it was so pleasant to meet and chat with others living on the road.

Illinois

Indiana

Ohio

I stopped just outside Cleveland at Fairpoint Harbor for a quick bite to eat (Tommy’s Subs – Super Philly Cheesesteak), ice cream, and to walk around.

Pennsylvania

New York

Vermont

Massachusetts

Back Home

After something like 3000mi and 40+ hours of driving, my Denver to South Dakota to Kansas to Massachusetts road trip was complete.

I landed back with my parents at their house.

It was nice to be back in a house, to wake up, go for a quick walk, come back, and meditate, to have a slow start to the day.

Coffee, conversation, walks around the neighborhood, and wonderful meals around the table.

I cleaned out the van top to bottom, said my goodbyes (to the van and my parents), and packed my 2 backpacks.

And so that’s where I’ll leave this week’s update.

Off to Barcelona, Spain!
