Instead of leaving Ames at a normal time like normal people we decided to leave as soon as Inpane got off of work. He ended up arriving in Ames around 2am, so that is when we left. Between the three of us we drove straight to Texas. Inpane’s mom made egg rolls and sent them with us. Marc and Inpane ate egg rolls the entire way – it made them fart like crazy. It smelled like rotten eggs. Between the two of them it was probably the worst smelling car ride of my life. The windows were going up and down… so that we wouldn’t die of methane consumption.
We were driving through Texas and passed one of my friends on the side of the road. Ashley Leger, crazy girl, was on the side of the road looking to fossils. I call this insane, I wouldn’t voluntarily stand on the side of Interstate 35 while cars passed me at 80 MPH. Attempted to get together with her in Dallas but it didn’t work. We went to Dallas a day after she had left.
After many hours in a smelly car and one wrong turn. Speaking of that wrong turn the only turn of the entire drive… Well we were in Waco and were turning on to HWY 6. The road signs are not labeled very well and I missed the turn. There is one sign that says HWY 6 next left but the next left does not mention HWY 6. Oh well, we figured it out and ended up in College Station around 5:30 pm. Went to dinner at an authentic Texan restaurant, Chicken Oil. Had fried chicken fingers. Very delicious.
