Travel today was from Iowa City, IA to Emporia, KS.
I
am at a restraunt now just finishing dinner and then going to the family
that will be hosting me tonight. I will write my impression of the
family either later tonight or tomorrow. My travels went really good
today. Super little traffic and pretty nice weather - for being in a
car. The weather changed from a little below 0 when I left IA at 8:3pm,0am to about 29
by the time I got to Emporia, KS. I ran into a little bit of light snow
but it was no big deal. My car is really dirty though - can't wait to
wash it when I get to TX.
I arrived at Gaelynn and James's house about 6:40pm . She is a professor teaching art the rapy at Emporia University and James is a lawyer in private practice. They actually just returned at Thanksgiving time from 9 weeks in Italy for vacation, and a little work for Gaelynn.. For Gaelynn it was a sabatical from the University and for James he just stopped taking cases. Gaelynn said they each work about 70 hours a week (wow!)
When I got here James showed me the house and took me to my bedroom to drop off my stuff. The house was built in 1920's and is typical for around a university (like UW Oshkosh and Lawrence University).
Hi Julie
ReplyDeleteHi James,
ReplyDeleteThanks again for the offer to stay and your hospitality. Eventually I will post a review on your site. My trip to TX went good, but long. The traffic picked up around Dallas and added to my trip!
Glad to hear you made it safe and sound. You are not missing anything in WI. the weather is really cold, and blowing snow tonight! Beth always hated Dallas/Fort Worth traffic. She liked TX, but found they always dressed up even to go to the grocery store. Keep us posted!
