We Get Around: July 2008

Some Picture Stats

Well, we obviously took some pictures on our two months of exploring. Having just gotten my Nikon half a year before, I was mostly pleased with the pictures it took. Taking only a point-and-shoot along for the ride wouldn't have given you nearly as good of a viewing experience.

Incredibly, I haven't done a whole lot of camera experimenting, despite me having the camera for awhile. So, the primary camera setting was auto. Thankfully, the camera is smart in most instances.

Totals:
2,594 Files (pictures and videos)
Which takes up about 11 Gigabytes

Final word

So this trip was the jam! (word courtesy of Collin, thanks bro)

I have learned so much and had a blast meeting and spending time with everyone we met!

I am home and enjoying it. We ended the trip in NC. We parted ways at my house after a radically late night of camping out for the second time on our trip with my little brothers. These guys have been calling me and telling me all about how we are going to camp when I get home. So we did! We built a sweet fire pit, roasted smores, and pitched the 7 man tent for the 3rd time all trip. Only me and my bros stuck it out :) but it was jammin'.

So back in VA now. I am doing a bit of training at my job, they are moving me behind the bar. My boss also noted I turned 21 and is now taking advantage of it :) - I couldn't be happier.

So this trip has really been a lot about growing up! I think I have grown a bit, but a long journey ever awaits me ahead! I am stoked! So I would like to thank everyone of you that opened your homes and most importantly your lives. We are ever grateful!

Joseph
