Westward.

Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado. My friend Ryan crossed both Continental Divides with me. My mom took me hiking in Boulder. Here's a small edit.

And a last one from the Herald:
Apparently you have to know how to throw a ball to be a citizen of this country. Good to know, I'll start practicing then...
(Fourth of July: Recipients of the American citizenship throw a first pitch after the ceremony at the Rock Cats stadium in New Britain)

I'm done at the Herald. The car is packed up. I'll be driving back to Arizona for a couple of days, then up to Colorado and finally Utah, where I'll be starting a fall internship at the Standard-Examiner in August. Bye bye Connecticut.

And here's more rain. New England summer rain, of which we have a lot. This one came right before a soccer game and some kids used the time to play ball in one of the huge puddles that had built in the parking lot.
