I&#8217;m behind enough that I don&#8217;t remember exactly, but maybe there were no ads, or maybe they were really short notice.

Thank you, my most excellent sisters!<\/p>\n<p>Back to our story.  We met up with Kae Miller, a cheerful and friendly girl from Japan, whom I had only met for a short time once before in Omaha.  We had a good time hanging out with her, once we eventually found a place that was open that we could go to (thank goodness for 24-hour American diners).<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/zachbardon.com\/tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/img_3417.jpg\" rel=\"shadowbox[album]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/zachbardon.com\/tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/img_3417-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Me, appearing shorter than I really am in order to fit in the frame.\" title=\"Me, appearing shorter than I really am in order to fit in the frame.\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-612\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zachbardon.com\/tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/img_3417-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zachbardon.com\/tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/img_3417-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/zachbardon.com\/tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/img_3417-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/zachbardon.com\/tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/img_3417-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/zachbardon.com\/tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/img_3417-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/zachbardon.com\/tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/img_3417-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That night, we headed toward Philadelphia, which was to be our next stop, and JH&#8217;s last.<\/p>\n<p>NEXT: The departure of Jong Hun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of JH&#8217;s friends from Capitol Court had just transferred to a school in New Jersey, so we had promised to meet up with her when we got there.
