I won’t say it was an uneventful day today, but it was certainly not worth
writing about–or taking photos of! We woke up to pouring rain, so there
was no question about whether we’d leave as planned, but we did debate about whether to go via American or Canadian roads. We opted for US interstates, although that’s more miles, because we were not sure about the Canadian roads and their speed limits and because we’d be without Internet connection for mapping and hotel booking purposes in Canada. Mark heroically drove 200 miles on I-95 in the pouring rain in the morning in increasingly heavy traffic. Then we had lunch between Portland and Portsmouth, after which more heroic driving ensued–now with less rain, but many traffic slowdowns, as we were competing with Bostonians who were fleeing the soggy beaches early–not much f a Father’s Day weekend! It was only when we got to the 90 going east that the traffic lightened up, and then it even got sunny, and the remainder of the drive for the day went fine. We stopped at a Days Inn in Utica, had an unspectacular meal at a Denny’s, and called it quits for the night. It’lol be the longest day of the year, but probably not for us!
