    Great traveloge post! I didn't know you picked all the music to listen to while driving that matched what you were doing at the time. Reminds me of Pastor Jeff picking all the hymns to match the sermon! Such coordination!

    Well, I don't really. Most of the time I had it on a mix - which is when the Sheryl Crow song popped up and I was like hey, this is a good driving song. I'm not actually sure the song "California" came on at all (or I think it did, but not right when I got to the state), but it was appropriate. So the music choices are representative of what I was listening to, but their placement along the drive is somewhat edited. More so later because I started just putting on mixes instead of consciously choosing what to listen to.

    The trek to California to find your fortune is the great American, optimistic metaphor. You have walked in the footsteps of countless Americans before you. Don't forget also to walk humbly before God and to serve your fellow man.
    Buena suerte. (Learn Spanish. You're going to need it out there.)

    Jandy,

    Hey, there, California girl. Enjoyed reading your description of the road trip. I've been to some of those places, but not all. It is sure different terrain than Missouri. Also, enjoyed your music inserts. I was going to call someone while I looked at your pictures but then started clicking on the music. So I decided to dust my bedroom which desperately needed it.

    Hi, Carolyn!
    I'm glad you enjoyed the music. I got the idea to include music at the last second; it's such a big part of my driving experience. And yeah, definitely different than Missouri!
