Wild West
Driving through awesome landscapes today I kept wondering, "Why would anyone choose to live back East?" Perhaps being back there next week will remind me.Tonight Moxie & I rest in Rawlins, Wyoming.

About Me

I'm just a girl who got dumped. BAD. Then I got cowboy boots and a dog called Moxie. Together, we're scouring the country for a new place to call home.

Hey!
Looks like you've gone to the Neil Pyke school of driving and photographing!
I assume that Sue is doing fine. Calico just told me that she misses Moxie (at least, I think that's what she said).
Love

"Why would anyone choose to live back East?" you mused. Although I've spent the majority of my life out West, I admit there are a few Eastern amenities I still long for:
(listed here in no particular order) 1) the Gulf stream, which makes the ocean >80 degrees anywhere from Florida to NJ so you can body surf for hours without getting cold; 2) real bakeries that make cannolis and real Italian bread and elephant ears and danish; 3) certain people; 4) Napolian style pizza -- tomatoey, cheesy and thin so you can fold it in half, or white pizza.
Maybe you should open a dog/people bakery when you come back out West. Hope you're having a good visit back East.
