the story i find myself in: posting in the rain (in the car)

so we are now in the eastern time zone! its about 9pm est, and we are heading to asheville, nc this evening. we are about 30 miles east of knoxville, tn, so it'll be around 11pm when we get to asheville. maybe a little longer, with it raining and such. well it has been a typical day here in the good ol del sol. we arrived into arkansas around 11.30pm last evening, as you can see: and after a good nights rest at our home away from home: we headed out. here is a photo of me at one of the many gas stations early this am, and my dad saying "Hello from Arkansas!! so we figured out why people in arkansas are the way they are... nuff said! the drive through arkansas flew by and was pretty blah scenery wise, see: the best part about the drive through arkansas was this bridge: i had some great talks with my dad on the drive through arkansas, about further schooling and some contacts i should pursue. we have some family friends from a church we were a part of in winston salem and they started their journey very similar to sacreds. and they live in boston!! so i will definately be giving my friend Rick Downs a call and pick his brain about his learnings. also, talking with dad about school got me excited about it again. options now look like campbell, unc, and duke. i will keep ya updated on the hunt for a school. at the border of arkansas is memphis, tn. here are some photos. the city and the border sit right on the river, looks pretty cool. here comes tennessee, state number 7 on this trip: anyone know what this building is? a pyramid in memphis? anyone? after memphis, we stopped in jackson, tn and ate an amazing meal at lonestat steakhouse. and in jackson right by the freeway was a starbucks with wifi! i was stoked to post our trip from yesterday. after lunch we headed eastbound, listening to my new fav sport on the radio, NASCAR! our boy jimmy johson made a late move in the race, but ended up second. maybe next time jimmy. the next sign of life was in nashville, we had a small detour through nashville, and ended up going on the backside of the airport to 40 and as we were driving along, we noticed this: WOW!! i've been under a bridge with cars on top, btt not a plane!! crazy!! so know we are through knoxville, heading to asheville. should be there in about 1 hour. looks like we will make our monday arrival in raliegh! what a drive!! until tomorrow...
