Had I had a hat on...

Tour is pretty much over, by pretty much I guess I mean it is. Ready for it or not I fly back to Indy tonight. I guess that means I should update the world with what happened in the last couple months. 

I went back on tour with Invisible Children, northern California was my stomping grounds this time. It was one of the most beautiful stomping grounds I've ever seen. The team looked a little like this: Orion Pahl from the suburbs of Chicago, Michelle Staggs from South Carolina, and Tessa DeLeo from San Luis Obispo. Our vans name was "Hyena Hideout." The team was absolutely phenomenal. 

We covered everything around Santa Cruz, San Francisco, Sacramento, Santa Rosa, Fresno, SLO. We saw Big Sur, Yosemite, Sequoia National Forest, the John Steinbeck museum in Salinas, Golden Gate (atleast 6 times), I am sure I missed something. Needless to say we drove from the coast to the valley numerous times. 

I didn't even feel like we were on tour, it felt like a roadtrip. Granted we had to be places and speak to hundreds of kids everyday but it never once felt like a chore. I give my team credit for that. When you are in a beautiful place with amazing people its hard to be negative. 

I am not ready to go home. Dont get me wrong, I am excited to see people there but I have been blessed to live this life of travel and I not ready to be in one spot yet. 

So here is the plan for going back:

First, detox- raw fruits and veggies for three days, juice for three days, then back to raw fruits and veggies for a couple of days. Workout and drop this "tour weight."

Secondly, work on getting a second job (probably something like Fedex.) 

Third, work on getting a new car (see why I wanted a second job now?)

Fourth, save money for mission trip to Kenya next summer.

I have some other stuff I need to do but I will write more about the goodness that has happened lately.
