through oklahoma and st. louis, missouri
and finally illinois (pictured: the exit my dad and i missed that added an extra 1 to the trip)
reunited with my cornfields! okay, so in deKalb the fields are slowly giving way to new subdivisions and shopping centers; the schools are overcrowded; and you are less likely to see you neighbor out while shopping at the wal-mart... but driving through the country reminds me of being a kid in a college town known for its corn. i had forgotten that 80 degrees is an average summer day in the midwest.
this next stage is a little scary for me - leaving austin, driving my car to deKalb, and beginning a year of travel - but i'm trying to look at it as an adventure. more pics to follow
