day 24

we drove thru the night last night. at a gas station, laura and i had just finished filling up with gas and were just sitting in the truck thinking about how we really should clean off the bug-covered windshield, when these 2 guys who must've been psychic just randomly climbed up and started to clean our windshield. haha laura and i were LOVIN it! so we gave them some free kick-it shirts before we went our separate ways. they were going to california....i almost jumped in their uhaul. but, for laura's sake, i restrained myself.
otherwise nothing too exciting happened during our drive. it was pretty rough to stay awake at one point, but when i took the wheel around 330, the sky started to brighten around 4 or 5 and soon i was watching the sunrise, jammin to jack's mannequin and SO JAZZED TO VISIT GABRIEL!!!! so i didn't feel all too tired. laura fell asleep at a stoplight though, so....

but anyway, when we got to indianapolis, laura pretty much passed out on the couch at the house gabriel is living at and i was too excited to sleep so i went to gabriel's work site and volunteered for the rest of the day helping out with the kiddos. it was pretty fun! then gabe showed me around the community center thing (which is like the central place for her summer project), introduced me to some people, etc. laura finally woke up at like 4 in the afternoon. then she went to a cafe to get on the internet while me and gabe went for a run. that was sweet cause we could catch up on life while we ran. =]

after that i showered and we all went to a potluck at the community center before laura and i hit the road to drive the rest of the way to columbus.

the drive was pretty uneventful as far as i know. i drove, then slept.

now we're at our hotel (which is sweeeeeeet btw) and tomorrow we paint the fields! gute nacht!
