I think Vi is getting tired of driving and looking through windshield wipers going back and forth in front of her. I'm not sure whether this rain is very local and just following us along as we travel from west to east, but it's getting kind of tiring! This morning we had some high broken clouds for a couple of hours, but then the rain came back again. The forecast is for it to be nice over the weekend, so we've got our fingers crossed. As it is, it seems we have carried our golf clubs in the trunk for ballast (similar to what we did last month and in January when we went to Florida) - are you feeling sorry for us yet?
This morning we left Elkhart and continued on US 20 through Indiana, but when we crossed into Ohio, we switched back over to I-80/90. The two-lane roads are picturesque and pretty, but hard to make any time when you get stuck behind a truck or farm equipment. Again, the countryside was beautiful. Still some Amish country - it's such an anachronism seeing the black buggies pulled by a single horse. I think we saw more of them this morning than we have in the past - must have been all the Amish men going to work, although we did see one with a woman and her children.
Crossed Ohio and transitioned from I-80/90 to I-90 around Cleveland, passed quickly through Pennsylvania and then entered the really pretty part of New York along the southern tier. We decided not to go through Buffalo, but rather take I-86 along the southern part of the state and then cut north on some back roads up to Rochester. Adding to the rain was the fog (I'm not sure whether it was high fog or low clouds, but the result was the same).
Arrived in Rochester right at rush hour (who says we don't have good timing). We all went to the Tap and Mallet for dinner. It's a neat pub close to where Tim and Kathy live. Would have walked except, guess what, it was raining! Good food and beer and fun watching the people.
