no sleep till brooklyn: day 6

3354 miles and counting. it was another day of endless driving. fortunately, today, the monotony was broken by a thunder storm between the hours of 8:30 and 11:30 pm. while the lightning was fantastic, driving in the dark, in the rain, with a bunch of 18-wheelers is actuallly somewhat of a terrifying experience...especially after you've already been driving for 8 hours.
i can't remember a single thing about the 5 states we drove through today except that they occurred in this order...kansas, missouri, illinois, kentucky and tennessee. the united states gets significantly less interesting as you go east, until you get to new york. this also happens to be the case when you start driving longer and longer distances each day as you get further and further east. tomorrow its off to winston salem north carolina. we'll be crashing there for a couple days with our dear friend, dave super. its a relatively short drive (but not really because its still 7 hours) but we're looking forward to a nice relaxing couple of days after tomorrow.
goodnight.
