Currently sitting in my hotel room in Hartford, CT, drinking a vodka redbull before heading off to the venue to see a few of my favourite punk bands play tonight. And today, just about an hour ago, I touched an actual dinosaur footprint!!!!!!!! I love travelling with Karine because instead of just party she likes to check out the area and do cool things, and we discovered last night that Hartford is the site of 200 million year old dinosaur tracks. We walked in and I was actually shaking with excitement; I think it was one of the coolest things I've ever done.
It's funny because as I'm typing this, the television show in the background is playing 'Kokomo' by The Beach Boys, and it started the song right at the part about the Florida Keys - which is my next trip, in less than two weeks, ha!
My last three trips, this one included, have all been so different from each other it's hilarious. A friend of mine was laughing the other day about how, looking through my photos, you see me and A on a trip, living in my car, and only two weeks later there I am in the States with my man, living in swanky hotels. Now I'm in a swanky hotel, but the room is overtaken by punks, and one snores so loudly that last night I set myself up in the bathtub to sleep so I could shut the bathroom door and keep the noise out - seriously
I'm so happy that this year I'm actually doing what I wanted to do - I'm travelling around North America. There is a possibility that in October I'll drive a friends car down to California from Ottawa - which means that I can stop in Utah, Nevada, and all of the gorgeous scenic places I've been dreaming about. AND it means that my decision for next year of either doing Western Canada or America will be made: if I drive to California now, then next year will be Western Canada for sure. And the year after that... well then, by then I think I'll have to step off this continent again :D
