In Love but Led to Leave Louisville

The last few days of our traveling were spent in Louisville, Kentucky

We fell in love with the place

The most beautiful city we had been to yet

As well, as some of the most beautiful people that we had met yet

But we felt The Almighty calling us to return

To return to our childhood home

Nestled in the orchard

Our lives are currently filled with our studies

Books on spanish, weather lore, and bush craft

A truly spiritually & intellectually enriching environment

But I feel that my heart may always belong to the road

Invitations & Introspect in Indy

Close to 300 Miles covered

in only a day and a half

Each day feels like ten

We've decided to expand our route

two or three weeks more

an entire month of freedom

minus the finances, comfort, and television

the best kind of liberation

We're making our way through it

but Indiana is becoming

a state that we want little to do with

after we've made it out, of couse

Thus far we've gotten by on mostly bread and water

We've slept under a bridge in Plymouth, IN

As well, as alongside the White River, here in Indianapolis

We've met many kind folk

Godsends, I'm sure.

Some gave us their numbers

to contact if trouble arose.

No hassles from any police, yet.

But it is still early in the journey.

We're hoping and praying for the rain to end

We wanted to be to Louisville early this afternoon

Our Packs Are Full & Our Hearts Are Bursting

I've been laid off from the migrant work

They said that they would call in two weeks

As soon as the next busy season began.

No better time for me to give in to the ever-present wanderlust.

My youngest brother and I had our maps out

& our bags packed before the sun had set.

It seems reasonable that with 

playing our music in the streets,

doing migrant labor, as available,

plus whatever other odds n' ends are found

that we can continue to wire money home

to pay off student loans.

All without having to settle down anywhere.

Goodbye, Great Lake State.

You will be missed!
