GRAIN: somerville to portsmouth, trip (the light) fantastic

it's kind of a bummer that these are backwards, but oh well...


the romain lo mein.

crochet rocking out to my nano.

gump wondering where the party's at. seriously.

trees in portsmouth. they're so green!

arrival in portsmouth. our primary objective was achieved. actually, the primary goal was sustenance from the friendly toast.

nire's ready for 100 more.

alcatraz, new hampshire style.

crochet can't take ANYMORE of gump's "suggestions"

stealing the scene yet again at the portsmouth park & ride.



arrival in hampton. goofy gump grin #1.

cat eye. because leds are useless during the day.

cruising through the hampton beach traffic.

hampton friggin' beach.

route 1a continues.

the cape? no. hampton friggin' beach.

arrival in seabrook, nh. seabrook did not go for dean in 2004.

crossing the hampton bridge.

missing the party.

i nearly killed gump in the name of great typography.

uh, salem? no.

another town.

there i am, woefully unprepared for the adventure.

we had a guardian on our trip. thy name was gump.

i didn't quite have the hang of this cameraphone self-portrait thing yet.

Unequivocally the best thing I've done in a long time. Even if I was humming AC/DC's "Highway to Hell" at the start. Do they make Fear flavored gatorade? Anyway, you were the Captain, and I salute you.
