Green Scene

Jeff and I are in Nebraska, or as the radio refers to it " 'Braska."

This place is FLLLLLLAT. I've never seen so much land around me. It's like when you're out on open water. You know where you are but you feel so small and vulnerable that you feel lost. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with it.

I like urban.

We stopped off in Iowa to see Byron and Des Moines, a city which was surprisingly modern and pretty cool. It was nice to see him and a good break in the trip. We then drove through Iowa and halfway through Nebraska into the night.

Things that I was impressed with:

• Windmills for miles (generating clean electricity)
• Jeff's manual transmission abilities and improvements (didn't stall, woot!)
• My phone's ability not to die.
• My ability to drive even when we're both at the breaking point--we reached North Platte anyway.
• Jeff and my singing abilities--we ROCK!

Things I am unimpressed by:

• People who stare at the Fiesta but won't wave back (pull that stick out of your butt!)
• Iowa radio
• My iPod cord's suicide (R.I.P., but why'd you have to do it in 'Braska?)
• My cigarette lighter's suicide (will rise from the dead in SB)
• The purple marker in the Dora the Explorer marker set on which I spent $1.99 at the gas station-- it was dried--wtf?!
• Jeff and My knowledge of the Dora the Explorer characters-- what are the lizzard, the little yellow puffball thing and the bull's names!?
• My ability to know what the hell Jeffrey is pointing at when he says "look!" and I say "what? where? Huh?"

So I'm done for now, we are headed to Steamboat Springs to see my other half, Carol, today. I CANNOT WAIT!!! I haven't seen her since Christmas and things are going to get CRAZY!

I will be sure to upload pictures soon and be sure to follow on Twitter! : Me ( @alexis_morrell), Jeff (@ysoyrebelde), Byron (@LordByron42) and Adi--plug!-- (@yoprice) for more road trip stuff and fun!
