West Texas

Just as Iceland had a lasting impact on my soul so too will West Texas take up a dark corner of me. I relived those childhood summer vacations; boredom so deep that nothing can reach it, not a new game, not an angry mother.  Nothing but the end of the day.  Thus I found myself rolling through West Texas - bored, bewildered, cranky.  No amount of itunes, audible or NPR could save me.  It just had to be gotten through and now that it has I will be stronger.

It seems like Texas goes on forever. Now, you're out the other side. Surely some kind of rite. I'm glad you are over the boredom. New Orleans can't be far.

I'm a bit confused. How can a restful night in a concrete tepee be so quickly followed by such a low?

No, no the teepees came after West Texas. My mistake on placement within the blog. That said - isn't life full of restful moments followed by lows?
