well... I've always wanted to start my own blog but somehow couldn't find the time for it. As I begin my trans-US vacation (actually zigzagging across the US airspace), I felt this would be the best time to pen down my experiences... So here we go ...
Reached DuBois (near Pittsburgh, PA) on Saturday (15th Dec 2007) after giving my final exam that morning. I really cannot believe that the first semester got over so quickly! It feels just yesterday that I arrived in Atlanta (August 10th, 2007) and begun my experience of a completely new world! The last semester was a roller-coaster ride of sorts and I'll dedicate an entire blog to it later on. In short, it was the most happening 5 months of my life so far... and I look forward to more of it :) .
In DuBois, I'm staying at my aunt's house in Treasure lake and the landscape here is awesome! The house is almost in the middle of a forest with dove-tail deers frequenting the neighborhood! As soon as I entered the house, it started snowing on Saturday. Today it's Monday and it's still snowing! Well.. to tell you the truth, in the beginning it was fun watching the snowfall (oh yesss... this is my first snowfall!!!) but now it's become a bit frustrating because IT'S NOT STOPPING !! Yesterday, I helped uncle clean 1 inch of snow from the driveway and stairs and now another inch and a half is there again !! I guess people here devote half there life to shoveling snow from their driveway... because by the time you finish shoveling, another layer of snow has started accumulating!! Anyways, the place is very beautiful and as long as I have my Nikon D40 to convey my story :) , I don't have any complaints.

That's one inch thick snow that me and my uncle spent the whole morning cleaning... now it's there again !! Frustrating.. isn't it??
Frozen while falling...
That's one of the dove-tail deers. A group of 4-5 deers frequent the house premises and it's amazing to watch them move about!! This is what you call 'living in harmony with nature'... don't bother them and they won't bother you.
That's them... watch the moves [:)]
