Riding Around America: The End
That's it! It's over. After travelling 8,000 miles around the country on the train, I'm back home. I'd like to thank the NYPD who turned out in force this afternoon at Penn Station to welcome me back, the German Shepherd who boarded the train at Albany to make sure that the train I was riding on didn't have any bombs on it, and the armed soldiers who patrolled that stations and tracks along the Hudson River.
But seriously, I really do want to thank everyone that played a role in the trip: Josh, Sherri, Bruce, mom and dad for providing food and shelter; and everyone that I met on the train and in the cities I visited.
A general wrap-up of the trip and some final photos will be up soon.
