Hey Lion King, what did you do to your hair, I thought it was more brown in your last pic. I can't wait to hear about all your travels, I will be soon moving to Colorado the middle of this month, so I hope to read what all you been up to before I move.
Great pic, I hope you had a good time, and now we know what has happened to you, well kind of ???? I guess I was MIA for a while searching for an apartment, but now that is in order so now it is time for the big move. Take care, Yorkie

hi everyone,well here are some pics of some of the places I saw,it was a great experience.My favorite places that I saw were Texas and Tennesse,the only 2 states I would consider living in after Florida.

Seeing the mountains,plains and desert and meeting interesting people is a cherishing thing for me.Interesting that in Texas I was around alot of Mexican people but to my surprise everyone was nice to me and spoke perfect english.My favorite cities I visited are Austin and Nashville,while I really liked Denver and San Antonio also.

Speaking to a few Texans,a few told me they are very unhappy that many Californians are coming there,changing the real estate market to were natives are having a hard time with prices and the views are of certain Californians.

Memphis,Birmingham,Mobile anf Lilltle Rock wre the trashiest cities I visited,mostly ghetto.I am not inpressed with much of the eastern coast either,In my view the Carolina's and Virginia are over hyped,while some nice scenery the people seemed rushed and personally to me the music scene is not right for me.

Biggest surprises were,Houston is a huge area,miles upon miles of urban sprawl,Pensicola is bigger than I thought but real nice and also there are alot more mountains in Arizona and New Mexico then I thought.

Speaking of Arizona,while a coool experience I would'nt want to live there,its so friggin hot,a heat like you feel when you are baking and you open the oven door,but surrounded by it.Driving thru Arizona I saw all these cool dust devils twirling everywhere.

I suggest everyone if you can see some of the country,it will change you and make you feel more alive.

Here is DC and Gettysburg memorial.And also Baltimore

I used a ferry to cross the Mississippi river because I have a phobia of big bridges.Alot of farm land in Missouri and Kansas,though some mountains also.

Default Colorado and Denver

seeing mountains was new to me,and driving in them,it kinda scared me sometimes.The Rockies are a experience to see.Denver is a huge city with alot of sprawl but I liked it.

Default New Mexico and Arizona

talked to these nice indian ladies selling jewelry along the interstate.Phoenix is a huge city but alot of cookie cutter housing and very hot.Tuscon was a mid sized city but not much there for my style.
