4 States, three days, one weekend
So on thursday, I decided to drive to Tulsa, OK. Actually the decision was reached on Wednesday night that was where I would meet my friends from Arkansas who I was giving my old Camry to. I got there Friday morning, met up with them, ate lunch together, and gave them my car. Then I got on the Greyhound bus headed for Amarillo, Texas.
That right folks, I took the long way home. From OKLAHOMA-Tulsa to OKC, to El Rino, to Elk City, to TEXAS-Amarillo, to Dumas, to COLORADO-Springfield, to Lamar, to Rocky Ford, to Pueblo, to CO Springs, to Denver, to Fort Morgan, to Brush, to Julesburg, to NEBRASKA- Ogallala, and finally to North Platte, my beloved home.
It was a long ride home, but a very interesting one. I got to meet several people who I'd probably never ever see again in my life and share a bit of my life with them. I got to pray with a guy who was going to see his daughter for the first time. He'd been incarcerated for the past five years and had gotten out two days prior. He wanted to turn his life around and knew he needed to if he was gonna try and be any kind of a father. But he didn't want to talk about spiritual things at all and skipped around the questions as much as he could.
I also read on the trip.
The Bridge to Terabithia- Katherine Paterson
and started The Life of Pi- Yann Martel
