so two days ago i was in el paso, tx on the mexico/us border. today i am in malone, ny which is awfully close to the canada/us border. my job has literally taken me from one side of the country to the other. from almost as far south as you can get in the contiguous us to almost as far north as you can get.
had a crazy travel day today. note: my first time on jetblue. plane was nice, individual tv's are a plus, terra veggie chips are also a plus, super delayed flight = not so much. had to rush around the boston airport: which, please note, is NOT a fun one when you have to change terminals. my grandma can surely tell you her story of her cape air escapade. i felt her pain today. shockingly, i made it on my connecting flight, after having to be escorted by a us air employee through the security check-point. when flying out, i forgot how pretty boston actually is. it had been quite some time since i've been there. thought i was going to have to spend the night there-- and i'm a little bummed i didn't get to.
i got to drive 1 hour here from the airport. its very rural here, but pretty. i was instructed upon picking up my rental car: to watch out for deer and that my gps won't work here. no cell service and lots of "wind farms" which are a bit eerie looking at 9pm. listening to canadian radio stations the whole way here and in case you ever wondered where maple syrup came from- this is it. just wish i hadn't misplaced my passport otherwise i'd go to canada. i'm only 15 minutes from the border and 1 hour from montreal. oh well, maybe next time. the one thing i am CRAZY thankful for is the fact that it is july. i can't imagine how this place looks in february. the only thing i know is i never would have made the drive if it was.
