Saco... that is a cool name

That's right. That bright blue suitcase that you see, with white sea turtles and yellow flowers on it, is mine. I love it! Thanks Dad! It was so easy to spot. I was able to make sure it was being loaded almost everytime I was getting on the plane. Of course, everyone was looking at me funny. I even had people laughing at me!
[True Story] I was going to pick up my bag off of the (twirly round thing), and the people next to me said... "Uggh! Whose is that? That is uuuggglly!" Not wanting to say anything, I just pick it up, and as I walked away I heard the people snickering. I was too, because I thought the same thing. :)
I don't care though... it a safety thing. And, I think it looks cool. It helps me to feel... words cannot really describe how I feel. ;)

So after a long day of standing in lines, flying, sitting, popping my ears... and eavesdropping on other peoples conversations... I was in Maine (PAPAW YOU ROCK!). I rented a car, took off on my journey to find the perfect leaf picture. Now, I have never been to New Hampshire, or Maine, and I took off on the beginning of this journey in the dark. Praise be to God, it was pretty easy. I had no problems, other than feeling like I had missed my turn a couple of times. I stayed the night at the Saco KOA, and slept the night away under the stars in my bivy.


I woke up the next morning to find... beauty! Tall trees, cold breath, and the smell of the woods! Man it is beautiful here. People are a little hard to understand here, but I am used to it. We will see how the day goes. I hope to go to L.L. Bean today... and possibly tonight... Beer and Crabs in a restraunt on the bay! And, I am starting to see a faint glimpse of the very thing I am chasing after... foliage!
