We left at 3:35 a.m. and the bit of snow in Andrew's driveway has been the *only* snow our car's wheels have touched since. 11 degrees F while passing New York City, 14 degrees going around Washington, and 16 degrees here.
So the urban-intensive leg of our journey has been accomplished. All went smoothly. We just got back from a supper at Tito's Diner, preceded by a much needed car wash. It was so slushy in Montreal yesterday we drove this far in what looked like a Quebec mud ball. We got it washed before radishes sprouted on the hood.
Over 1000 kilometers clocked today. A demain.
That's a pretty good first day. I guess someone's in a hurry to get to the beach huh?
ReplyDeleteJust in a hurry to get past the heavy-duty urban driving. New Jersey is a particularly awe-inspiring jungle of hydro-electric pylons, construction cranes, factories, cranes for loading and off-loading ships, six-lane highways running alongside, over, under, and snaking around each other totally infested with myriads of vehicles in rapid motion. In the middle of this stew is a great sports complex and a huge airport with airborne jet liners coming in and departing at strange angles. Nice to be done with that.
