Durham, NC - Glen Rock, PA

my last few days in durham, nc were pleasant, spontaneous, and fun-filled! on saturday evening matt and i had an improv photo shoot with a chicken-head hat (photos will follow in a few days). on sunday amy, matt and i hung out, and i was introduced to the infamous "bojangles" fast food restaurant. bojangles had a menu of biscuits served about 15 different ways, and sweet tea that could instantly make your teeth fall out (pure sugar water... it was horrific). i just ate their delicious fries with bojangles seasoning. took two sips of the sweet tea... made a face both times, despite every effort not to react. later on in the day we went to cookout for milkshakes. mmmmmm... i have never seen a milkshake flavor list quite like theirs, and after a tough time making a decision i settled on the strawberry cheesecake milkshake -complete with chunks of crust and strawberries, it was the real deal. delicious. went back to matt's house and played "imagine iff..." (a very fun game other than the fact that matt and amy's brains overlap sometimes...).
on monday i was back on amtrak riding up to baltimore. diana was on the other end and we shared our first hug in our own country (we had only seen each other in india, tibet, and nepal prior to this visit). and now here i am in her quaint home in rural pennsylvania, surrounded by animals (horses, cats, dogs, roosters...), delicious food, and the sounds of roosters roaming outside. it is a beautiful place! tomorrow i will go for a walk again and take some pictures of the farm.
