Egad!

Egad! The answer was there, written on the wall all along!

There's

There's an ancient labyrinth below NYC. You have to run this gauntlet of mind-bending terror to escape the isle. There was a minotaur.

I probably should have typed out a hearty post between when I arrived in Syracuse a few days ago and right now. However, I did not do this.

But yeah, I made it. The trip from Oregon to Syracuse took about $400 (mostly gas), and covered 4667 miles. Yes, I drove one extra mile when I got here. I had no car trouble whatsoever though, good ol' Bessie.

Now, I'm about to get on a bus which will take me to Manhattan, where I'll get on the subway system which will take me to JFK int'l airport, where I'll get on some sort of shuttle supposedly, which will take me to a plane which will take me across the Atlantic Ocean to Dublin and another plane which will take me to Spain. Totally not complicated at all.

Truth be told, I think modern transportation is pretty incredible, and I hope the rest of my generation has the good sense to marvel a little at how easy it has become to traverse our blue pearl.

This blog is going to take a turn now, since I won't be able to update from my cell phone anymore, I'll have to upload pictures and posts directly from libraries or internet cafes and the like, which may or may not be frequently available.

Hope you've all been enjoying this space so far - I'll see you on the other side.
