new discoveries

I'm not currently driving, so I can type a little blog while trying to look up to experience the parts of our country that I haven't seen. It seems a difficult task. My camera currently running at a more accelerated pace. Needless to say, the desert is not the most beautiful part of the whole United States of A. We gave it only one "S" for a reason.

But now we have entered the mids of Texas, and I must say, there is much that I haven't seen. The stone hills rise high above the ground, with their layers clearly visible. And not grey or something lame, they range from golden to red, blue to white. There is clearly a history here.

Something that has come up in conversation (in breaks between albums) is the idea of how fast we are going and the distance we are traveling. Because the Texas I-10 speed limit is 80, we are traversing the Earth at a pretty crazy speed. The road's white lines speed past our car faster than normal. Road that seems so far away, is the road we pass in nearly minutes.

But anyways. It seems I am too easily distracted from writing for now. Signing off. :)

Love to everyone.

A child just passed me on a bike and I thought he was yelling at me but it turns out he was talking to himself....random.

Anywayss. I like these blogs.
They make me feel more involvedd. Like I get a taste of the action. This one is pretty sentimental with all that mountain business. You're so...deep.

So I don't know how if this ones gonna show up as "anonymous" but for the record, this is Elysse. Sheesh. Okay, well I look forward to hearing about your crazy night in austin and ill talk to you soooooooooon. :)
