on the road again

With finally enough time for a blog post, I join you from the student union at Princeton University. On Sunday, Monday and Tuesday I made the trip from Norman, OK to Philadelphia, PA. The first day was a record-making 11-hour solo drive from Norman to Sewanee to pick up the bro. Then we drove the rest of the way together in two days, sketchy car issues notwithstanding. But anyway, here I am. The key to driving alone across the country is few stops, driving...uh...a bit...over the speed limit, and strategically eating or drinking something containing sugar. But it's still rough.

Monday I got a tour of the Sewanee campus and a hike to Piney Point.
Jesse demonstrated the use of holy water in the chapel:

We tried a self-portrait. Maybe it's time to give up on these:
Then we went on the hike through part of the 13,000 acre campus. Second-largest campus in the nation. If nothing else...

A long way down:
