Life is a Highway

Today a friend of mine,Paul, and I were both bored. Usually when I'm bored I go for a walk or waste hours on youtube in order to pass the time. Not Paul. He's more interesting and spontaneous than I am. We ended up finding a used bookstore out in the Pioneer Valley and decided to go for a two hour drive in order to check it out. Normally I hate car rides that last longer than an hour, but this was a fun drive. Paul and I hadn't seen each other in a month, after having spent just about every day together the previous month, so it was nice to reunite with an adventure out west.

After visting the book store, I took Paul to Umass Amherst for a quick tour.The campus looked gorgeous and the pond was actually clean. I loved being back there and I cannot wait to go back in four weeks. Though this impromptu trip should be able to hold me over until then.

On the way to Umass we made a quick detour to check out Nash's dinosaur tracks. Sadly they were closed, but we found this waterfall near Nash's.

It was fun getting to be spontaneous for a change. I am always planning things in advance and making sure that everything is perfect. It was a nice pace of change to just hop in a car and drive off.

Lesson of the Day : Be more adventerous and spontaneous.
