Feels great to be on the road heading West again! We are retracing, in reverse, our journey made exactly one year ago, when Ed and Robin and I made our way to New York from California. I had forgotten how steep some of the PA mountains are – fortunately we are almost out of them and into flatter and flatter land. One mis-step today when I missed an exit – but Ric made good as navigator and brought us back to the turnpike quickly – after showing off the bus a little on country roads. The new paint job is really wonderful – people’s reactions are really funny, we’ve been getting even more dropped jaws, honks, and waves than usual.
My laptop is still dead and is making a harrowing ‘yowl’ every-time I turn it on. I fear for the hard-drive… fortunately I have a drive with a relatively recent backup. But we’ve got the lab computers setup tonight and bus-wide internet going strong. I am so grateful for all the donated computer equipment we’ve received.
Well, a long day of driving tomorrow as well as prepping for Monday’s teaching, but I will leave you with a few photos from the past few days.
