We are in Rochester, NY for the night. We came another 600 miles today. 300 miles to go!
We hit another stop and glide traffic jam first thing this morning. It took us about 30 minutes to go 2 miles. After that we did well although traffic was heavy and there were lots of construction zones. We finally hit a nice stretch where we could go a little over (Well a lot over at times) the speed limit.
There are way too many cars, people and trees for my liking. I feel very claustrophobic out here. Wide open spaces are few and far between.
We have been lucky and haven’t had to drive through rain yet. We can tell they have had more than their share of rain as there are puddles everywhere. Maybe we can bring some rain home with us when we come back to Kansas.
I am wiped out again tonight. All I have done today is sit and drive. Not sure why that is so very tiring but it seems to be. We stopped for breakfast this morning and ate on the road. The hotel we stayed at last night did not provide a complementary breakfast. We stopped for gas twice more and one or two potty breaks. We had snacks for lunch. There is a Cracker Barrel by our hotel for the night so we had dinner there. It was OK but not great. Oh well, we are fed and tucked into our hotel room for the night.
We have a little over four hours to go tomorrow. Not sure if we are meeting Gene’s friend in Amherst or Hatfield. We need to get the key to his apartment from her. I sent her a message but haven’t heard back yet.
I also sent a message to a Facebook friend of mine. She lives about five minutes from where we are tonight. I am hoping she is free to join us for breakfast tomorrow but it is short notice and she may have other plans. We have been Facebook friends for years but have never met face-to-face.
Grateful for another safe travel day, grateful we are almost there, and grateful it is time to rest for the day.
