Travel journal stuff

[zyzyly]

I pulled out the maps yesterday and started looking at roads. Much to my surprise, a completely unexpected route began to take shape. It includes potatoes, a selection of big giant heads (one of them yellow), a great lake, a so-so lake, provinces, a ferry ride, a wounded knee and a visit to the place I tell them I'm from when I lie about where I'm from.

Mapped out, the route has the rough appearance of a heart that has been turned upside-down. How appropriate.

when I we moved into our house in New Bedford the attic was full of big clay heads.

You're having an adventure! Super!

big clay heads? do tell more!

[sistermeg.livejournal.com]

you ask that as if I didn't run screaming from the attic and never go back.

[myasma.livejournal.com]

how could you ignore the allure of giant clay heads?

[creactivity.livejournal.com]

I hope you tell us about this journal when it's up and running.

[myasma.livejournal.com]

If one of those great lakes is Lake Michigan, be sure to give a hollar.

i think it is superior--thunder bay?

[zhenzhi.livejournal.com]

road trip. that sounds great! :-)

[myasma.livejournal.com]

i haven't yet decided if it is just a dream or it will really be real.

[zhenzhi.livejournal.com]

even if only a dream, it still sounds good! :-)

i just found your "postcard" in my inbox and am replying!

[pasticcio.livejournal.com]

Awesome!

Which provinces?

[myasma.livejournal.com]

Manitoba, Saskmumblemumble, Alberta and BC.

[pasticcio.livejournal.com]

Alberta, eh?

Which city?

[myasma.livejournal.com]

i don't know--i am wandering aimlessly, so i will be here and there. maybe i will visit your city and buy you a cup of coffee. i'd like that.

[pasticcio.livejournal.com]

You HAVE to my city! I'd love that .. no one ever comes here! Depending on when it is, I'd love to show you around ... any idea of when you might wander aimlessly into town?

[myasma.livejournal.com]

probably late july/early august. email me your city--no, wait. I have a envelope on my front table addressed to you, but never mailed it! i keep forgetting to buy candadian postage.

let me look at where you live tonight and I will be sure to make it part of my plan.

I wondered what had happened to my card!

Hope you can make it up to Edmonton. We do have the largest shopping centre in the world, ya know? You can't miss that! ;)

[myasma.livejournal.com]

yeah, I have a whole stack of cards waiting to be sent. yours is on top (heehee)!

As it stands, I am planning to take the yellowhead highway from thunder bay to BC. it looks like I pass right through Edmonton! I'm not clear on the timeframe, but I'll have to figure it out soon because I'll need to make a ferry reservation for the inside passage a few months in advance.

It would be so cool to meet ya!

Ditto to the comment on giving a holler if you choose Lake Michigan...or any of the Great Lakes. There is also a so-so lake here, Baw Beese....I could cook potatoes, you could ferry ride to Mackinac Island...:O)

please visit me in Washington if you are out this way.
And may I be in on the travel journal please?
