Distance covered so far. I think it has been 12 buses so far. There is still so far to go to get to California. Onward!

What am I thinking?!
My name is Nick Taylor-Vaisey. I have an undergrad degree in political science and a few clippings in newspapers and magazines around Canada. I live in Ottawa.
I saved some money this summer and, with minimal planning and as much spontaneity as I can muster, I am setting off on a 30-day bus voyage across (parts of) North America.
Ambitious, I know. How can anyone hope to appreciate Canada's east coast and America's eastern seaboard, gulf coast, and west coast while peering out the windows of a Greyhound bus?
Well, follow along and see how I do. I have a camera and expect to see a few friends along the way. There might even be some cameos.
Stay tuned.

How come your line forks at Cincinnati?
Nick, you used "far" three times. Do you think there's a message there?
Mom
you're going to california??!?!
oops, sorry, that's me above. that's how i leave comments on other vegan blogs. I'd say maybe i was masking a shameless plug except that this is an old post. VISIT MY BLOG NICK.
I like your blog!
... even though I have been eating dirty American BBQ at every chance.
Not entirely true. It's just been twice.
yeah, what up with the forking thang, did you hit Cin City twice?
No wonder you hated it.
Hi Nick's Mom!
Yeah, Lexington is apparently out of Greyhound's way. You have to go back through Ohio to get down to Tennessee and beyond.
