Paul's Great American Road Trip: August 2008
http://paulsgreatamericanroadtrip.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Paul's Great American Road Trip. Monday, August 18, 2008. The Coldest Winter I Ever Spent Was a Summer in San Francisco. That quote is attributed to Mark Twain, but I've also read somewhere that he never actually said it. Well, he should have. The redwoods in Northern California are as imposing and impressive as I'd imagined. Our drive to Sonoma county is uneventful, and we use our instincts and a few helpful locals to wind up at a delicious Mexican restaurant in Santa Rosa along the way. The next day it...

Paul's Great American Road Trip: A Note From the Author
http://paulsgreatamericanroadtrip.blogspot.com/2008/08/note-from-author.html
Paul's Great American Road Trip. Thursday, August 7, 2008. A Note From the Author. It's very hard to do a blog about a journey like this. One could write an entire book about the experience, easily. Doing a whirlwind tour of 40 cities in 60 days, and drving over 10,000 miles in the process leaves little time for writing anything, and when I do have the time I find I'm usually too exhausted to compose anything coherent, let alone intersting.

Paul's Great American Road Trip: O'Boise
http://paulsgreatamericanroadtrip.blogspot.com/2008/08/oboise.html
Paul's Great American Road Trip. Friday, August 1, 2008. July 15th,16th,17th,18th. The drive from Salt Lake to Boise goes smoothly. We arrive at the home of Mark Beshara, one of my best friends from Columbus who moved out here a couple years ago to run his home-building company. That evening we meet up with a couple of Mark’s friends for dinner and then go on an adventure to one of the hot springs outside the city. We drive well outside of town. Turning down one poorly lit road after another. Som...There...

Paul's Great American Road Trip: Pacific Coast Highway to Heaven
http://paulsgreatamericanroadtrip.blogspot.com/2008/08/pacific-coast-highway-to-heaven.html
Paul's Great American Road Trip. Wednesday, August 13, 2008. Pacific Coast Highway to Heaven. As we leave Portland and begin our journey across to the Oregon coast I am hyper-aware of my speed, my recent run-in with law enforcement fresh in my mind. The donuts not quite having satisfied our hunger, we look for somewhere to stop and eat. Burgerland, right off the freeway by where we stop to get gas, fits the bill. Our new road music proves to be a nice little gem, and quite awesome to listen to.

Paul's Great American Road Trip: Portland, OR (not Maine)
http://paulsgreatamericanroadtrip.blogspot.com/2008/08/portland-or-not-maine.html
Paul's Great American Road Trip. Wednesday, August 6, 2008. Portland, OR (not Maine). Tuesday morning we pack up the car and drive the comparitively short 3 hour drive to portland. We meet back up with Christina and spend some time in the bookstore. This compliments my visit to the largest bookstore in South America earlier this year, El Ateneo in Buenos Aires. My friend Amanda is in Portland for the summer, on break from Ballet Met Columbus to dance with a local Portland group. It's really cool to b...

Paul's Great American Road Trip: It's Always Sunny in Seattle
http://paulsgreatamericanroadtrip.blogspot.com/2008/08/its-always-sunny-in-seattle.html
Paul's Great American Road Trip. Tuesday, August 5, 2008. It's Always Sunny in Seattle. The drive through Washington is beautiful. We arrive to Seattle safely despite the minor holdup (and major expense) in Oregon. Reaching Scott by phone we put his address in our GPS. Of course, the way it tells us to take has us getting off the exit at Qwest Field right as a game lets out. We walk downtown to scope out the scene and get a burrito. Fish and chips on the waterfront for dinner is delicious. Sunday Christi...

Paul's Great American Road Trip: July 2008
http://paulsgreatamericanroadtrip.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Paul's Great American Road Trip. Sunday, July 27, 2008. July 11,12,13,14th. Denver - Golden - Boulder - Salt Lake. We decide to switch hotels for our second night in Denver and naming our own price on Priceline.com yields us a 4-star hotel downtown for $85/night. The sweet potato waffle is delicious beyond comparison. Furthering my life outlook that everything is better if you use sweet potatoes instead. After breakfast we check into the hotel. There is no free parking. There is no fridge in the room.
