Do you want to show off your obsession with Stranger Things AND help the National Endowment for the Arts? David Harbour’s t-shirt does both!
I started working on my trip to Maryland. I’m planning on taking Amtrak’s Silver Star from Tampa to Washington, D.C., so I FINALLY get to go on another train adventure. Or the Silver Meteor, but that would require taking a bus from Tampa to Orlando – bleh. It’ll be some silver celestial body anyway. Then I was contemplating possibly getting to D.C. a day or two before I’m supposed to move into the dorm and seeing some things. Hopefully they’ll send me a schedule of any field trips we’ll be taking over the summer, maybe the stuff I want to see is stuff they’ll be taking us to see anyway. Probably not the International Spy Museum though. That I’ll probably have to do on my own time.
Maryland will be the fifth state that I’ve lived in over as many years – that seems kind of insane, it feels like forever since I left Tennessee but that really was just in 2013.
Train trip, new state, digging stuff up – should be a good summer!
This is my 100th blog post!
Also I’ve been thinking about a graduation gift to get myself in December. Maybe a GoPro. They shoot time lapses and they’re waterproof, two things my Canon M isn’t capable of without modification. Could be fun.
I’ve got my class schedule all planned out for MY LAST SEMESTER O_O. Finally I’ll get to take some in-depth archaeology courses, up to now the offerings have just not worked out for me.
Added to the Travel Map:
Tangalooma Wrecks, Moreton Island, Australia – shipwrecks just off the beach.
Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park, Madagascar – wild rock formations.
Horseshoe Canyon, Canyonlands National Park, Utah – tons of rock art.
Longyearbyen, Norway – northernmost city in the world.
International Spy Museum, Washington, D.C. – pretty much exactly what it sounds like.
Barron, Washington – ghost town.
Canyon Falls, Alberta, Michigan – waterfall in a canyon.
Bears Ears National Monument, Utah – 100,000 archaeological sites.
Bagan Archaeological Zone, Myanmar – the “Plain of Pagodas,” 2,000+ temples.
Ōkunoshima, Japan – this is the island with the zillion rabbits, but I’m more interested in the ruins of the poison gas factory.
