After much packing and sorting I am finally ready to embark on my great adventure. For my last day in America I decided to do things I couldn't do in Europe. For example, I ate Reuben sandwiches with the fam, watched some Friends, had a delicious peanut butter and chocolate chip sandwich for dessert, and forked our pastor's lawn with a special message from all of the college kids (and Molly and Erin). It was a great way to end the summer.
In about an hour, I get to spend one and a half days traveling from Denver to Vienna with a few stops along the way. Pretty soon those hills will be alive with the sound of Ian and the lonely goatherd won't be the only one yodeling. So long, farewell, and see you on the other side!
I am so glad you got to throw some Sound of Music references into your first blog, despite the fact that they are missing from the title of your blog. Very witty. Can't wait to hear about all your adventures!
ReplyDeleteIan Daniel Martin. First, it is the U.S. that people eat Reuben Sandwiches, only you eat peanut butter with chocolate chips as a sandwich, and I think we're pretty unique in having forked our pastor's lawn. And I AM a college kid.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you'll be with the goaties, though. They're the best. Too bad you don't know anything about them because you didn't read that wonderful book about the yodeling yiddish shepherd.
AHHH Ian! SOOOO happy to have you on this side of the ocean! So when is that visit to Edinburgh planned for?!?!?! I can't wait to see you!
