Fear and Loathing on the Road to
Boston and Back
-Got a late start. Will have to skip Falling Waters.
Couldn't find iPod radio player, so only have cell phone for music.
-Before leaving for this trip, for
the past few days really, I'm finally ready to end my sojourn into the woods so
to speak. It, among other things, seems
so arbitrary. Everything is in flux, and
you better get use to it, cause its not going anywhere. Got to enjoy living in the flux of change and
never reaching a sense of whole, or a sense of contentment.
-about 20 miles east of Columbus,
Ohio and I'm at the best rest area by outside terms I've ever been too. It has benches and tables that look like foe
modern art. It has trees planted in
round soothing circles. Its all very clean
and impressive. On the inside, when one
walks into the two connected buildings, one us immediately hit with the
overwhelming smell of alcohol, raw alcohol that immediately dissipates upon
entering the restroom area. All of which
is very clean. And this rest area is on
the Blue Star Memorial Highway, which is a tribute to veterans who have served
during World War II and since.
-the drive through Ohio so far has
been with beautiful Ohio blue skies complete with clouds, which both look great
off of the green grass and trees.
-driving through Zanesville, I forgot
about the prominent churches and cathedrals.
The city, which is mostly brick and has more than one downtown exit, has
two prominent cathedrals, one a French gothic cathedral that looks like notre-dame,
and a red cathedral that looks like the famous one in Florence. All nestled in the hills of eastern
Ohio.
