Day 4, Tuesday, 5.19.08

What sort of human being combines such a random pair of items together as a vegetable called Cucumber and a fruit called Canteloupe? A genius? A very lucky man or woman who happened upon a glorious fluke? The world will never know, so I feel it’s best just to tip our hats to the mysterious individual who invented the scent “Cucumber Melon” and enjoy the wonderful gift they’ve given all of us. I’m finally clean today, freshly showered and smelling lovely (as you might have gathered), sitting in the basement [my room] of my aunt Natalie and uncle Nobuya’s house in Issaquah, which I was informed has officially changed to “Sammamish” (or “Sammich” as I like to call it). I’m feeling somewhat refreshed, but mainly just exhausted. I’m going to post only this short one tonight, I’ll write more tomorrow. All that to say, I’m safely at my destination, and I’m very thankful.

Here are the stats so far for the trip:

I’ve driven a total of 1279 miles, for 20+ hours (hard to track to due side adventures such as San Fran, Shasta, and Portland).

I’ve spent $191.10, with $114.78 of that going toward gas.

Anyway, there’s a quick little update, just to say I’m here safely. I plan to relax and recoup from the drive tomorrow, so I’ll most likely be hanging here most of the day. Goodnight, I’ll have more tomorrow.
