Today marks the beginning of my hiatus from my beloved life and work in New York City. In 5 hours I board the Crescent Line Amtrak train at Penn Station with my dear friend Kurt and will arrive in New Orleans 30 hours later with a few clothes, my bike, a sewing machine, and lots of ambition. This blog is an attempt to document our journey across America and whatever madness ensues afterwards.

HOUR 10: NORTH CAROLINA!!
It's a long ride to the finish but we've hit our 1/3 marker! Most everyone around is sleeping and not to my surprise yours truly is wide awake. I dream better awake anyhow. I can hear chuckling in the snack cart ahead of us. The train whistle is oddly in sync with my Kings of Convenience playlist and unexpectedly soothing. Thankfully Kurt is not snoring. Outside the moon is dancing behind a line of trees. I'm quite relaxed and enjoying the moment.
