Driving... Driving... Driving.... and more Driving

Day 6/100 (03.06.07)

How stupid are we?

We though.... their name was "CHIMES"
so we called them Mr. and Mrs. Chimes... but they weren't Chimes....
it was just because they had so many wind chimes at the house..... oh man...

In the morning of 3.5.09 we had a really nice breakfast and talk with Jill (the owner, we called her Mrs. Chimes....;;)
the bread was fabulous!
and not to mention... the CHEESE!! OMG! one of the best!

Talking with Jill helped me realize one more time what my trip is about.
To meet people, talk to people, listen to their stories, and share our hearts together.

They had their own story of starting that business and how they kept going....
I was able to see her amazingly beautiful heart.
Motherly heart. and as a Fellow human being who's constantly trying to be good to others.

Justin and I gave them a thank you present. I gave them a copy of my book, and Justin made a CD of his music.
...... I signed the book "Thank you Mr. Chimes..." They are NOT CHIMES!!!!!! hahaha
we didn't find out till the very last moment when I said thank you Mr. Chimes... and Jill(the wife/owner) started to laugh and say that's priceless.
hahaha


anyhow. it was the best experience we had in Louisiana. not just New Orleans but in Louisiana.
Chimes Bed & Breakfast
--------------------

off to Alabama.

we were planning to go to Georgia.. but realized it was a very stupid decision since to go to Georgia, we would have to drive up north.. and again drive down south to get to Florida.

So we decided to go to Florida first and than to Georgia on the way to D.C.

since we changed our route, we decided to stop by Alabama church and see the church community.


Since it was a week day, the church was locked.

but luckily, Mr. Moraes came to us and took us to his house where we met his son Daiko.

Daiko and Justin met in CheongPyeong Last summer,
Daiko, 19 years old, Highschool Senior, very talented Artist.

we visited Master Marines

I had a chance to meet with the President of M.M. -Brett Dungan... i think that's how he spells his last name.... ehh
He had his passion. and confident in his work, and sense of accomplishment.
I was blessed with his guidence about life.
How young people should live.

walked around for a bit.

Alabama had a very good community, everyone seemed very close, and supportive.
and the church property was gorgeous.

I got to photograph Daiko for my project. YES! haha
that's always good.

Mr. Moraes took us to the Chinese Buffet
I was had an honor to listen to his dream, and passion, and ideas of life.
What a experience.

That's what I love about people,
we all have dream... passion... and stories.
I love to hear about them.
They may not be my dream or passion but gets me excited just by listening to their stories.
Wishing I can be there to see everyone accomplish their goals.

Definetly a place I want to come back.



Drove 4more hours at night towards florida.

slept in the rest area.

drove 12 more hours...

went to the state park and washed on the side of the road.... since we had to pay so much money to just use the shower.... decided to just go around and wash outside.


Today... wasn't exciting at all....
Didn't get to take so many pictures, or even meet anybody..
all we did was drive... drive... and drive a little more...

right now I'm in a very small Motel in Fort Myers area called "Green Wave" on Palm Beach Blvd.

very tired.....


I want to meet people.
that's the main purpose of my trip.
To meet people, tell them about my project.
listen to their stories,
understand each individuals.

But for now, I have to get to Boston by 21st.
today is 7th...
goto Miami,
Vero Beach
Atlanta
Tennessee
Kentucky
West Virginia
D.C.
New Jersey.
and to Boston...
