Finding True North #6: Getting There

I am now in Indianapolis! I started out around 9:30 a.m. and got here at about 8:00 p.m. after stops for bathroom breaks, gas, trying not to fall asleep, and getting cash for stupid toll roads in West Virginia. The map I posted was NOT the way my GPS took me.

I started in North Carolina.









I then drove through Virginia.









Then I spent a while in West Virginia, where I saw beautiful mountains except that there was an intense thunderstorm blocking my view.










Then suddenly I was in Kentucky! I had never been to Kentucky. It was very...Kentucky-ish.








I did not realize I was in Ohio until I came upon this crazy looking city on a river. I was very confused until I saw a sign for Cincinnati. (Also never been to Ohio. Could you guess?)











Finally, I crossed over into Indiana, and things flattened out considerably. Because Indiana is flat.













Now I am taking a breather before unpacking a few small things at the house where I'm staying. A church member is hosting me for the summer, and she is great. She immediately took me to her favorite restaurant, where I had delicious chipotle fish tacos. She also has a very cute dog named Sadie. And I have the run of her basement for the summer. And we drove past Peyton Manning's house.

Also, I passed the church on the way into town, and it is beautiful. I am a sucker for this kind of architecture—probably my favorite course in undergrad was an art history class on Gothic cathedrals.


Tomorrow I plan to unpack more fully, prep for liturgizing on Sunday, and maybe go explore on my bike a bit. My host showed me a bike trail in Broad Ripple that looks awesome and is close by.

Cannot contain my excitement. :)
