First off, let me say thank you San Fransisco. Details of our night of debauchery will have to be edited for now, but Damn! The savage burn we wrought on the San Fransisco department of human resources makes me feel like we are finally earning our title of Gonzo Pirates. The Homeward Bound program is designed to get kids off the streets of San Fran courtesy of a free greyhound ticket. The only stipulation is that you must have someone on the receiving end "sign" for you by way of verbal confirmation that you are coming home to live with them, and will no longer be on the streets. So we are now poor lost little runaways seeking the refuge of an easier life "back in Chicago." We are currently sitting at somewhere around 4,500 miles, and are bound for the east coast. Right now we are enjoying the amazing courtesy and hospitality of Chase's father and stepmother, who have gotten us off the "mean streets" of SF. We will hang out and dig Chicago for a few days then work our way to NY and up through New England to Canada. We were fortunate enough to have a day layover in Denver and were able to catch a Rocky Mountain sunset in between our two day long stints on the "dirty dog." This rapid change of destination has thrust the journey into a whole new direction, and even a whole new level as we quickly cross the entire continent. I am very interested to see what it is really like hitchhiking out east, and to see where our journey will bring us next. This trip truly is to be the new defining point in both of our lives, and even the ear-to-ear grin on my face does little to convey my excitement. As we step into the truly unknown, they bounties ahead of us are limitless. Thanks again for following, and see you all soon.
