Here we go!
Today is Day 2, and we already have free wireless in our hotel! What luck!
So, Mike and I have begun our great cross-country adventure. Yesterday we drove 582 miles/930k (our planned route is somewhere around 9600 miles/15,500k), from Cambridge, MA to Pittsburgh, PA. Hopefully that will be the longest stretch for a while.
We got off the highway for a bit in Pennsylvania and drove through a lot of farmland and some very quaint little historic towns. We got to see a buggy-load of Amish people in their little hats, and lots of red barns with white-trimmed doors like the ones you play with as a kid.
We reached Pittsburgh at about 8pm. After taking an unplanned scenic drive through some residential districts, we pulled out the GPS (thanks, Mom!) and made it to the Quality Inn. Then we headed back into town and ate at this classic sandwich place where they put french fries in your sandwich. Surprisingly good!
We managed to have some chats with the locals, and our bartender last night is so famous they made a doll out of him (Johnny Irish)!
Mike will likely have different thoughts on the same events. Please read and enjoy. And post comments! We have to review them, so don't worry if they don't post immediately. But it would be great to hear from you.
Love from Pittsburgh,
Sarah

hey guys, sounds awesome. I am so envious of you and your trip. Friends of ours did something similar and picked up a little stone everywhere they stopped and labbled each one with white-out (you could probably find a better permanent pen). They put all the stones/pebbles in a glass jar to display- it was really cool. Are you going to upload pix? looking forward to reading more- be safe, Love, Tarryn
