We got back on the road and headed south through the rest of North Carolina. Much of it was still a corridor of trees: One town that we stopped in that stood out as being particularly nice was Laurinberg. It…
Day 66: North Carolina Roundup
On our very last full day in North Carolina, the green card did indeed arrive, as we posted about when it actually happened. Our last day there mostly consisted of waiting for the post and packing up our mountain of stuff.…
Day 65: Chapel Hill, North Carolina
We finally got our oil changed on one of our last days in North Carolina. It was a fairly painless process and I was able to do another Skype ESL lesson right from the dealership. Kudos to Verizon for the…

Days 44-45: Virginia
We spent the next two nights in Fredericksburg. After how hot and intense our day in D.C. was, Chris woke up way too warm in the night despite a fully functioning air conditioning unit and had trouble getting much more…
