Portland, Maine to Newark, NJ to be more exact.
Found my little car all well and ready to travel. (Thanks Carolyn and Cynthia for the car care hospitality.)
Just needed a new wiper blade, a window wipe, and a restocking of the car food cooler. (One should always have a stash of cookies in the car cooler in case of a roadside emergency.)
Lots of beautiful New England Fall color along the way. Changing to less red and more yellow as I went south – also a dramatic change from cool and misty to warm and sunny. Nice.
NYC roads are in no better shape than our Bay Area pot-holed tracks, and there are more of them. Got here ok, but how was this even possible before GPS/Google maps and turn-by-turn directions!? Like following a strand of spaghetti through the bowl.
