Moving west and making it to Ohio was fairly easy. Leaving the luscious warmth of our friends in Northampton was the hard part. A great send-off last night at TDT, so thanks to all of our well-wishers, geuze buyers, and audio book and CD music gift givers.
Once we left the congestion of MA-CT-NY gliding across PA was a scenic breeze. Lunched in Scranton -- hoping to spot some of the glamorous stars from The Office -- we soon realized that the show is actually shot in LA. So we ended up being the prettiest people in the vegan cafe, Eden, which offers great food, should you find yourself out that way.
Strolled across the Poconos -- scenic but desolate -- we arrived in Youngstown in search of good eats. After driving through the post-industrial downtown we soon realized that the best food around was literally right next door to our hotel.
Sammy has checked out the room and it meets his approval, although to Emily and I it does have a rather post-Soviet generic feel to the place.
Early start tomorrow for Kansas City, where we'll be staying with Erik (graduate school friend from UMass). It'll be nice to see a familiar face and catch up before we make the long journey across Kansas to Denver.
Looking forward to more of your travel tidbits!
