We’re currently making our way from Ashland to Boston. We’re just south of Saratoga Springs, New York staying with a fellow couchsurfer, Neal. We are four couchsurfers staying at the house tonight, but the more the merrier! We drove through the Adirondacks on out way here - some great sights to see, the downside to traveling here outside the tourist season turned out to be that everything is closed. So no museums or anything this time around.

The two other guys, Matt and Piers are botanists from Duke University. They are out collecting samples of moss - when done they will be going back to North Carolina to examine the genetic strings of the samples. Matt, on the right, invites us to visit him in Durham - hometown of Duke University - when we pass through North Carolina.

Piers made shrimp fettucini and Neal was well stocked on beer, so we had a great night. Tomorrow we’ll be driving around to see the many sights of the area, and hopefully sample some more local cuisine - good stuff. Friday is Thoreau day. We’ll be spending the weekend in Concorde, visiting Walden Pond - the place where Thoreau lived for two years while writing ‘Walden’. Should be plenty of good photo opportunities, so stay tuned.
