Today is day 56 of our journey across the USA.Twenty-seven days ago we were in Memphis. On that night we were exactly halfway through our road trip. We’d already been captivated by California, awed by Utah and Arizona and seduced by Louisiana. We still had Virginia, DC, Chicago, Vermont, Massachusetts and much more to come.
Tonight we have one day left in the car and a day and a half after that in NYC.
It was fitting that we spent today as we did – most of it in the car journeying from Rhode Island to New York State via Connecticut. And where we are tonight is also typical of many nights – a roadside motel in an anonymous area of strip malls, which aren’t pretty but have served us so well some nights.
Sure we’re feeling nostalgic that our adventure is coming to a close. Would we turn around and start all over again? You bet. Should we turn around and start all over again? No. After all we’ve seen and done, it would be extraordinarily ungrateful to feel anything but overwhelmingly content.
Two-months ago tomorrow I wrote the first blog posting as the movers were moving us out of our apartment. We had no idea what was in store for us then. We’re not sure what’s in store for us next. Whatever it is we've been inspired and challenged by our journey to make sure it does justice to this experience.
Next stop NYC - as tourists.
