internationals

The last few days flew by so quickly! After Memphis we drove over Birmingham to Atlanta to Augusta (where we watched the Soccer Game Germany vs. Portugal and Germany WOOOON) to Charlston to Raleigh to the Amish-Land and finally we made it to Massachusetts!! We met alot of funny, interesting and weird people. We had all kinds of weather: Hot sunshine, freezing snow and annoying rain. We heard alot very different accents, that we could barely understand. People could barely understand us, too. We saw Gas between 2.99$/ Gallon and 5.50$/ Gallon. We had good food (seafood in South Carolina was just the best!)

We're staying at Circus Circus hotel and Casino. It's a busy place. The internationals all experienced their first drive through car wash, which was much needed after camping in Tahoe and then Yosemite. Speaking of Yosemite, the car was attacked by a bear, and we have proof! The bear pulled the passenger door away from the frame at the top. Luckily, in Bishop, CA the host of our campsite was able to bend the door back :). There have definitely been some interesting people along the way. For instance, the naked Cherokee indian man we met this morning at the hot ... read more

After we went for a hike at the State Park we wanted to make breakfast.But we were out of Propane. So we tried to grill the eggs, and we actually succeeded! We drove to Yosemite, but we didn't find an available camp ground in the park. So we camped at the Cranberry-something State Park.... read more
