just had the funnest roadtrip ever.  why you ask?  it wasn't the music.  although listening to sikora's turtle tracks on loop could have been ok.  but not for 10 hours.  hanging out with nano for 10 hours straight was way cooler than expected.  i thought she was going to go to sleep.  nay. 
she was talking for most of the trip and refused to even close her eyes "i like to see all the..."
we pointed at different boards and made fun of them "jumbo sized shrimp...more like donkey sized shrimp"
so we talked "did you know..."
a lot "do you remember..."
i got dirt on everybody! "i was so surprised..."
i got great memories of the village "you know your dada ji..."
i got funny stories about when we were indians "i was on a train..."
i got sad moments in the past "people don't know that they hurt others when they..."
i got silly habits from adults "...and he didn't even know.  that simpleton"
we shared so many things.  i was painfully dull.  she was amazing.  i'm going to be exactly like her when i grow up.  belly included.
