After an amazing tour through new york from Claires uncle Brad; seeing the sights like a local, going to a hole in the wall restaurant with amazing food, checking out silly goth stores, drinking 'lights' and 'darks' in McSorelys, traversing through a farmers market, just being gengerally treated to a lovely NYC experience; we set off in the evening toward PA. We were met with some heavy traffic and a little road rage. The roads are not like those in Vermont, that's for sure.
We took the New Jersey turnpike and drove all the way passed Baltimore before we realized that we had gone the wrong way. In a rest stop at one in the morning, we had to make a decision, we could go the two hours back up to PA or the 5 or so toward North Carolina. Both of us feeling sleepy we decided on not taking the longer distance option and biting the gas cost anyway. We arrived at Claire's grandfather, Robert's house at 3:30 am. Our plan was to sleep in a tent until morning, but fortunately he was still awake. Finally we had reached some much deserved sleep. The next morning Robert treated us to eggs and english muffins, along with some kind conversation. we set off from there around 1 making it through Pennsylvania and then Maryland once again into Virginia where we are now. Visiting with uncle Thom in this extravagant house. The country here is beautiful, the trees are nice and the tea is tame. I am happy to be here.
