Country Roads, Take me Home













...West Virginia! We are staying on the outskirts of a tiny little town. Where I'm at now, I can see both ends of Main Street. I'm posting from the Dirt Bean, a surprisingly cool little coffee shop/bike shop, run by women who mountain bike. They have some cool veggie stuff here. Otherwise, my diet has consisted of stuff I brought, iceberg lettuce, and fries. I have been getting some good exercise though, running up and down these hills!
It's definitely beautiful and interesting here. I feel obligated to write about all the things we take for granted in Jersey--cell phone service, malls, movie theaters, tofu...The mountains and the quiet are nice, but I think I do better in less isolated areas. We had to take a nauseating mountain road to get here. Check out the place we got gas--a general store with some pumps out front. It's definitely interesting to be in such a different place. Anyway, here are some pics!

I'd expect to see 59 cents on the gas sign, not $3.89. The real question is, do you have running water?

That gas is cheap! ;) I had to pay 4.49 today! Ridic!

I love General Stores, well.. I love little towns. They make my insides happy.

I'm glad you found some veggie eats. Hooray for the indie java joints across America!
