On the road

July 12, 2008

Somehow I managed to wake up at 5:15am this morning, despite going to bed only five hours before. The excitement of the trip to come was a better stimulant than coffee -- but that in no way meant that I could operate without it. After grabbing a shower and tying up loose-ends, Shane and I jumped into Pierce's car alongside Mark and we set out on our journey to Martha's Vineyard.

The car ride went by faster than expected, both psychologically and literally. Having four goofy guys packed into one car tends to be extremely entertaining, and thanks to Mark's special mixed CD's, we were pretty much set for the duration of the trip. There were a few sights to makes things interesting, of course. While traveling North on 95, we saw a truck towing another semi cab. However, from our angle, it looked as though a semi-truck was heading straight for oncoming traffic. Thanks to Pierce's super-powerful awesome camera, we snagged a shot as a car was changing lanes (for maximum effect).
