So today was my first day off in quite a while. I found it to be exactly what I needed. It wasn’t exactly a full day of rest but it felt rejuvenating none the less. I was able to sleep in and rest my tired legs but I still managed to make the most of every minute today. Of course I had the help of my friend Natalia.

Sometimes you need to nourish your soul to be complete. I did just that. I took in the city and it’s various attractions. We started off at Frontier City amusement park. We went on all the rides in such a short time. The park wasn’t too big and the lines weren’t very long. It was amusing enough but after a while it was time to go. The next destination was downtown OKC.

We were getting hungry and we ended up in the spagetti warehouse. Our server seemed kind of new...

I slept in today secure in the knowledge that my day off was imminent. And when I did get up, I headed to the store to buy a few necesities including a new ipod so that tomorrow would be free of chores that suck up time.

I began the day’s journey in the afternoon. It’s amazing how quickly the weather switches. But, if you’ve been following this insane adventure you are well aware of how fickle mother nature is. The sun warmed my bones and helped my blood flow. As I ran, the scenery once again changed before my very eyes. My vast sprawling green fields of swaying wheat gave way to the concrete jungle. The chirping of crickets and the singing of birds gave way to roaring engines and blasting stereos. The American made trucks and cars were replaced with imports...

Last night the wind shook the tent like crazy. Everyone at the office back home think that my mom and I are complete lunatics for camping out. I’m beginning to feel a little loony actually. Oh yeah, the blood sucking mosquitos added to my lunacy. That’s right, as I wrote last nights post I was the thanksgiving dinner for these dreadful pests. I was fortunate to have most of my body covered but they managed to devour my knees. They got my head as well.

I woke up at six this morning to take clothes out of the dryer which were put in the previous night. It was freezing and I rushed through the folding to try and get a few more moments of precious shut eye. The second time I woke the weather was still the same. Ominous clouds loomed everywhere...
