grand canyon. omfg loves it. i want to hike it and paddle it for the rest of my life.


went to the grand canyon west today. it was amazing, first day off. i almost wish we hadn't been so close to teh grand canyon b/c i would have like a chill ass day off. but instead i got to see this natural beauty and wonder, so i can't really complain. All i want to do now is quit my life and kayak the Colorado river. It was expensive, but we got to go on the skywalk which was this cool sort of sidewalk that was glass that went over the canyon. I had a fun time just laying down over the glass looking at the canyon 2,000 feet below, unfortunately they didn't let us bring camera's out there. it was still fun though and the photographers had a great personality and it was fun talking to them. so here are some pictures from the trip. I'm in love. I've decided some day i just want to take a break from my life and hike and/or paddle the grand canyon. loves it. i plan on going back again some day soon. me and some the actors were just talking, but what i was saying was that i was so glad i took pictures, because it was just so grand and picturesque and huge and immense that my brain cannon conceptualize it. like i'm looking at the pictures and i can't even imagine that i was there and it was actually that large. I totally totally want to go back. I plan on looking at this pictures for a while.

first on the road picture post!

Hey everyone out there! so here's the first post of my time on the road!
things are going crazy, but alright. Still getting in teh swing of things. I got really sick the other day and spent a whole day feeling ill in bed. luckily we had driven so that way we had the time to let it happen. I'm still feeling weak and really nauteous especially when i think about any of the food i've had in the last week, or any food in general.
Things are going well, stressful. I'm trying to get used to the show and going to a different venue every time. I'm also not really in the swing of things and comfortable with what i'm doing entirely yet.
so there's that. hope everyone out there is doing well! i'll be enjoying the warm late spring like weather before our load in at 5pm.

so far i've been through:
virginia
north carolina
south carolina
georgia
alabama
mississippi
lousiana
texas
new mexico
arizona
woo hoo!



me looking like a fatty fatty no friends in my suave pink hat i got at the thing



oh hell yes we stopped and saw "The Thing" on I-10. It was a little weird, and not any 1 specific thing. luckily, it only cost a dollar.


something we saw at the thing. not really sure what it is.... oh wait. it's THE THING!!!!!



it's fraggle rock! we saw it on the road going through arizona.


yay! welcome to arizona. It's 80 degrees here. i love my life.


sunrise coming through new mexico i think? on the way from texas to arizona.


driving the truck in texas.


thanks arizona, i'll take that into consideration. we also saw huge smelly stock yards we could smell them for miles before and miles after, and there were so many cows crammed into a relatively small area. they made me incredibly sad. so no thanks, i won't be eating beef.



the "meteor crater"/tiny gully thing we stopped at in texas. it was incredibly dissapointing. but i like the way the way this picture came out.


where me and jon ate in big springs tx. very interesting place to eat.


fried zuchinni slices. mmmm... this place was awesome.
some windmills we saw in texas. i thought they were pretty cool




lighting hopkins statue in crockett tx.



texas!


cheer wine, this delicious and incredibly sugary beverage i had at a bbq place in south carolina. the food was great!


jon in the truck. after he had just broke branches off a tree. oops.

tomorrow morning the blues journey crew heads to our first venue in Charleston SC! i'm so excited! it might end up being trial by fire, so we'll see. i'm incredibly nervous and excited at the same time. life will be tiring especially the next few days so hopefully it'll go well.

just a picture i found funny. took it in nyc.

hey all i figured i would post my address for ya'll
so here it is

Jen Howard for Michelle M. (email me if you don't know my last name. )

Education Department

Kennedy Center

PO Box 101510

Arlington, VA 22210

If it’s a package, send it here:

Jen Howard for Michelle M.

Education Department

if you send a letter to the package address it'll take more than a week to get back aaaand it'll get zapped by gross radiation and stuff and supposedly the paper will get brown and sticky, so unless you want me to see what it's like, don't send a letter to the physical address. woot!
