Chasing the Pope...

After a healthy breakfast of Tim Horton's Donuts (feel the American Spelling!!!) we're off towards Niagara Falls. The Pope is in Washington DC today and in New York the following day, according to the TV, so it looks like we probably won't catch up with him. Tickets to attend the mass were compared to Willy Wonka's Golden tickets, but we've failed to get any... possibly because we've been eating donuts rather than chocolate bars?

Got a eeePC yesterday, after spending a significant amount of time jumping up and down on the glass floor of the CN Tower. Only annoyance is that despite advertising, it came with a 4400mAh battery, rather than the 5200mAh advertised. It was a sealed box though, so I'm not sure what's going on with Asus and their eeePC models.

More posts to follow, from the eeePC, no doubt ;)

DAY #7 - we're not not in Kansas any more...

So far, we've driven upwards of 2750km through sun, snow, rain, hail and wind. We've been blinded by the bright neon lights of Reno, and amused by the tumbleweed blowing across our path in Kansas. We've dodged hurricanes, found bargains in Target and Wal-mart, met cowboys, but no indians so far.

We've played shuffleboard, seen a pool table with rather more sides and pockets than is the norm, seen a dog do tricks, and eaten altogether far too much food.

We've been sunburned, frozen and blown about. We've seen high rise buildings and cityscapes, mountains and great flat plains.

Tomorrow we head towards Chicago, though I'm not sure the 'windy city' can live up to its name after the winds we drive through today. Another 1138km to drive tomorrow, according the the crazy Australian Lady living in Kev's GPS. Let's hope our supplies of Pretzels and Twinkies hold out ;-)
