Yesterday I started the first day of travel outside of Ohio. I was so excited to go back to Mammoth Caves that I ended up being early. In fact, because I also forgot about the time change I was about three hours early. Oops. But the Violet City tour that I saw was great. It was latern lit and super creepy to walk in the front where nothing but darkness stretches out in front of you. It was really hard to see but it was pretty magical knowing this was how early explorers and tourists would have seen it.
Last I night I slept in my car in the heat and humidity outside some random Walmart.
I don't recommend doing that.
I set my alarm to go off every hour so I'd wake up and make sure I was still breathing.
Now I'm in Clarksville. I met my Couch Surfing host, Abby, at work and she sent me to her house for a shower and a desperately needed nap. We've had a great night, lots of laughs and a cool walking tour of the part of the city - it's a just a big Gallipolis! I've met a couple of her friends and they're all really great. Whoever thought of the idea to couch surf is an amazing person. I'm saving around $100 for every night I spend crashing on someone's couch, plus the company sure makes traveling alone a lot more enjoyable...
...and it sure beats sleeping in a car.
