road trip summer

So it's almost July, which is really exciting. Like, check-something-off-your-life-"to do"-list exciting. And not the little list that you keep adding to and checking things off just to feel like you make progress in your life. Like, The List. Because this is the summer of the cross-country roadtrip.

Yes!!

Monterey, CA -> Gainesville, FL

Anyways, get excited. I am. The last roadtrip I took was through Montenegro, in a Fiat Panda. The stuff of legends. An epic journey through canyons, by lakes, and near cliffs, with harrowing passages, detours for waterfalls and the unexpected reality that you can park however you want and drive wherever you want in Montenegro. No, really.

And yes, a Fiat Panda (technically an automatic, but not even close) can scale a mountain to get to a campsite.

And navigate sheer drops (the road was narrower than it looks, honest!).

If we have half the adventures of Montenegro, this cross-country trip will make for some excellent blogging! So, like me, get excited. And if not excited for the roadtrip, then at least look forward to my next post. I'll write more about Montenegro, and explain why we chose to go there (hint: James Bond).
