                    <title>Salt Lake City and a New Tea Epiphany</title>
                    <description>Six hours on the road from Montana to Idaho to Utah my friends and I catch up with each other39s lives.I also thought about the bisons the pronghorn antelopes the geysers of Yellowstone and what joy it would have been like if I worked as a wildlife biologist. I have always loved wild animals and sometimes I feel that my friends lovingly tease me for not outgrowing such fondness for animals.</description>

KabayanIt39s remarkable where we Filipinos find ourselves these days  we adapt even in the remotest places Fact Yellowstone is the first National Park park in the world.

                    <description>The mere mention of Montana evokes the thought of wide open spaces. We rolled our mountain of luggage into a budget hotel in West Yellowstone Montana and the romance of wide open spaces was lost  atleast temporarily I hoped. It was 530pm so we figured we may have a good two hours of sightseeing before the sun sets. A Vow to Never Eat Bison MeatWe entered Yellowstone National Park from its west</description>

                    <description>An arch of white antlers stood at the town square of Jackson Hole. Personally I didn39t know what to make of it. Antlers to me meant hunting and death shrug. It blends in with the cowboy theme of the city alright. It stood against a beautiful backdrop of mountain ranges  a welcome sight for someone like me who has lived for quite a while in flatland Chicago. Fortunately the arch had a si</description>

                    <description>This year39s Thanksgiving weekend was spent entirely in Arizona. We all met at Phoenix rented a car drove 5 hours north to the Grand Canyon drove 3 hours west to Page and drove back to Arizona for another 5 hours. Sounds crazy but it was a lot of fun Throughout this trip we had snow rain and extreme heat with the best backdrop  the redtinged geologic formations of Arizona39s cany</description>

                    <title>A Short Midwestern Roadtrip</title>
                    <description>I had my high school classmates Anna and Cath over in Chicago for a couple of days.  Then we all went on a road trip to Dayton Ohio.  It was a 5hour drive heading south east passing through Indiana.  We passed by acres and acres of corn.  We passed by a lot of silos which I learned were used to process corn into cattle feed.  We also passed by a huge wind farm that had dozens of huge wind t</description>

                    <description>Predictably a snowstorm has caused me a terrible delay in my winter getaway.  I was supposed to leave Chicago for Raleigh last December 23rd but was given another boarding pass for the next day.  Well better delayed than sorryDecember 24thMaret picked me up from the Raleigh airport which is very small  I realize how huge Chicago airports were.

                    <description>Another first for me was to take the train on an interstate trip. We took the Amtrakfrom Chicago Union Station to St. Louis Gateway Station STL. I was looking forward to a scenic 5hour trip but there was not really much to see except for the Silver Cross Field at Joliet and the lush greens.We arrived at STL at noon and that39s when the view got interesting. The train crossed the Mississippi</description>

                    <description>My Mom39s friend picked us up from Manhasset in Long Island NY. The agenda of the day was for us to try our luck at the slot machines of Atlantic City. It is common knowledge among locals that it takes atleast 3 hours to get to Atlantic City from Manhasset. But apparently My Mom39s friend39s son made it with only 2 hours.

                    <description>Like I said before I would love to see New York City again and get to know it more at a personal level. On this second trip to New York My Sis and I opted to go around Manhattan on foot and via subway. We did a lot of walking no regrets I think it39s the best way to enjoy NYC. In fact by keeping on walking we have 39discovered39 an underground pathway on our way to Radio City.Food T</description>

                    <description>After lunch my aunt tagged us along to a trip to the mall called Fortunoff.  She wanted us to see the beautiful Christmas decors on display even after Christmas Day.  She says she has the habit of buying Christmas decors for the next year because they are slashed more than half the price  Unfortunately there were not much decors to see anymore... they were all sold  Sounds ironic huh despite</description>

                    <description>Seeing BrooklynI have seen very little of Brooklyn but it was enough to convince me of its rich diversity of people and culture.  I visited Aileen who happens to live and work in Brooklyn.  We exchanged a hefty amount of stories  to catch up with each other  10 years is a long timeAs we walk along Nostrand Ave I notice convenience stores and ethnic restaurants constantly next to each other  </description>

We took the subway and ofcourse I was excited to finally see for myself what people say is a confusing labyrinth of tunnels under Manhattan.  We took the MTA New York City Subway which Sheila looked up online last night.  She has moved to San</description>

Whew  Aside from being a smooth driver super Jimmy sure has a knack of finding the best food in town  When we first met him he took us to Philadelphia's Chinatown for dinner.

He's been driving us around showing us new places to see.  We crossed the Benjamin Franklin Bridge from Philadelphia to Camden New Jersey.  Just a few minutes after crossing the bridge we read a sign that says Welcome to New Jersey.   Trul</description>
