America is connected to Canada!

Last night, I woke with a start around midnight, and felt I really, really needed to reread a text message sent to me over the weekend.

Let me explain. A few of my good friends from college are currently driving across America, having left a few days after our graduation and getting home in another week and change. When I told them that the Canada trippers and I would be flying home from Seattle at the end of our journey, and they told me they'd be passing through Seattle, I suggested they leave me something.

I didn't think they'd follow through!

Sunday, I was at a loud show on the boardwalk with some friends, and slightly distracted, so I read the text from Jeremy, "Seattle. 2nd and Battery St. Bellino Coffee... Love, America." I thought it was just a really sweet here we are, thought we'd say hi type dealy.

Tuesday night, I read the following:
"Seattle. 2nd and Battery St. Bellino Coffee. Right bookcase, behind selected poems of Robert Browning. Object hidden. Love, America"


Just one more thing to be super excited about, even though Jamie, Amanda and Katie have never met the America boys, and Ross, Matt, Jeff and Jeremy have never met the Canada girls! Jamie and Katie and I have all graduated and come home and are waiting patiently for Amanda to graduate at the end of the month so we can finish our planning and embark on an excellent adventure!
