From Alex Henery:

Ok, so America is really big. Last night we did a 10 hour drive and it sucked. I woke up and looked out the window to see nothing but the road and the occasional house here and there. I’m kinda confused why anyone would want to live so far away from civilisation but I guess some people like solitude. This is the first time I have ever experienced the true midwest and it’s exactly how I imagined it to be and more. There are big trucks everywhere, every gas station has country music playing on the speakers, people are really polite and well mannered, the accents are funny and there really is nothing to do in between the big cities. during one night drive we stopped in the middle of the nowhere in Illinois and I went to get some food from the rest stop shop. I asked the lady what people do for fun, she replied “go to the bar” I asked her “what if you don’t drink?” she laughed, “Then your screwed!”. As I was about to leave a man walked in, the lady shouted “Hey John, this boy here is from England, he wants to know what there is to do for fun around here!”. He looked at me straight faced and said “Cook meth or farm”.

So yeah we really are seeing some crazy places and are slowly getting closer to the west coast :)
