| Welcome sign at the ROA airport |
It took us about ten hours door to door to get from our apartment in Los Angeles to our hotel in Blacksburg. It involved a taxi, two planes, and a rental car. Whew! With the time change and everything, it truly was an epic travel event to get from California to Virginia. I guess the days of the puddle jumpers from LAX>SEA are rapidly coming to a close.

| Cherry trees (?) in bloom, out of control! So pretty. |
Our first impressions of Virginia are that it's very green and springy here. It's spring like I imagined it and things are colorful, blooming, and beautiful. It feels very much like "the country" to us though we have a lot of exploring to do. I think "pastoral" might be a better description. From the sky, it looked nothing like California or Washington. The hills (though I am told they are mountains) roll gently in little bunches and everything is covered by trees or grass. All of the houses are huge and most of the yards don't have fences. However, parts of it do remind me of driving through the back roads of San Luis Obispo/Arroyo Grande in the late winter, only with much different flora. I hope to get more and better pictures up this week as we have time to take them.

| Apparently people refer to it as "Tech" the same way we say "U-Dub". Thus noted. |

| On the drive... lots of purple flowers! |

Tomorrow.... we find a new home! It's going to be house/apartment hunting HGTV style. Three homes, three choices, one decision!
