the road. where do i start. the most surprising thing is we got in an accident. don't worry, we are fine. I was turning around on the main street in barstow, on our way out of town, and jasmine was following me, and she was waiting for on coming traffic and she got rear-ended and then the guy who hit her got rear-ended too. it sucked. she is okay, and her car isn't damaged too much--we don't think. the adjuster took a look at it yesterday and estimated ~$500 worth of damage. so she'll pay the deductable and get it fixed--and hopefully eventually, someone elses insurance will pay her deductable back. but, all in all it sucked. we had to wait for the police to come, we had to wait for the police to talk to everyone we had to wait a lot. and it wasn't fun waiting either.
we stayed with three different people along the way, they were all very hospitable. the Jellings were eager for conversation, ranging from church to weddings to old common friends. the vanderpols were eager to go to bed, and eager to be hospitable. we had a lazy morning there which proved to be very relaxing. and heather took the day off for us, and forgot we were coming on wednesday. oh heather. we enjoyed viewing two volleyball matches of heather's and watching original csi's together.
now we are here. well, now today, i am here and jasmine is in redlands. here is sherman oaks california. i like it. it's very nice. we walked around yesterday and checked out the neighborhood a little, it seems very nice. we also began apartment hunting for jasmine. which might be a challenge to find something close and reasonable.
for those of you interested in statistics:
i got about 25 mpg on the trip.
we traveled 8.5, 10.5, 6, 5 hours on each day
and we filled up with gas, a lot.
those were some sorry statistics. sorry.
well, i guess that is about it. if i forgot anything or you'd like to know something else about the trip, let me know.
