Solo Road Trip, Day One: Asheville to Baltimore

On the Road: Traveling on 26 West through cloud-covered mountains on Wednesday, May 18 at 8 a.m. Driving through North Carolina, Tennessee and Virgina was absolutely beautiful. Fields of yellow grass and red poppies, cows, barns, rolling mountains in the distance and a long, empty highway ahead.

                           Washington Traffic: I spent over an hour in this madness.

Welcome to Baltimore! After nine hours in the car, my right leg was numb, I smelled like sweat and peanut-butter pretzels and had a terrible headache. City traffic didn't help. Total miles: 520.

Reunion with my dear friend Jessica Alderman who just finished a masters in Public Health, focusing on Health Communication and Behavior Change Communication, at Johns Hopkins. Baltimore is a strange city: University dominated, racially segregated, no grocery stores anywhere (a "food desert" as Jessica describes) and crab-meat crazy.
