We left with no directions other than meg's handy road atlas. Turns out using a map is pie. Knock on wood we've been traveling without problems. The weather, my goodness, it's like we drove right into summer. The interstate we were planing to take through Pennsylvania -80 West I believe- had major construction and delays, so we got off and found a scenic route. It was a lot of fun and real pretty and we got to drive through all these weird little mountain dwelling towns, but took forever until our winding country road met up with another big road way, 81. Then we took that to 70 west.

12 hours and 5 states later we found ourselves in Columbus Ohio. It is a lovely city. I'm realizing my standards for cities is New York. The cities I've been to thus far have been really clean, very little traffic, and very nice people- not things I associate with cities. It's very refreshing. Meg and I have adapted to life on the road, we slept in the car the past two nights. The first night was rough, not really falling asleep and uncomfortable. But when we relocated and regrouped at 5 am we got some solid hours of sleep. Last night we slept straight through the night comfortably. When we wake up we find a McDonald's and go through our morning necessaries.

Yesterday was 82 degrees and sunny. Driving everything slowly becomes greener. It's like watching time lapse photography. It was rainy and windy today but It's clearing up as I type. We're in Louisville Kentucky. Driving into the city there's a big photo of colonel Sanders on the side of one of the buildings. In a bit we'll be meeting up with a couple who'll be hosting us for a few days here in Louisville.





Happy Easter everyone!
