The next day we got some more massages from that lovely place in Springfield, PA: Taiji AcuCare. We hung out with Val in Media a bit to give her keys back and greet her lovely cats: In the evening, Mike (Val’s…
Day 38: Through the Bronx and Back to Pennsylvania
We had to cross back through New York to get back south. We were kindly invited to stay with my friend Val’s parents, who also live in the burbs of Philly. The fastest route took us through the Bronx. Even…
Day 37: Connecticut
Connecticut is known for being an expensive state. It is. Fuel prices shot up as soon as we crossed the border, as did the price of accommodation. In Rhode Island, we were able to find some good deals on actual…
Day 36: Providence, Rhode Island
We decided we needed a longer rest, so before even seeing Rhode Island properly, we decided to stay another night. We were not disappointed! It is now the second city that is definitely in the running. Like Columbus, it was…
Day 35 Part 3: Road to Rhode Island

Day 34 Part 2: Maine
We crossed into Maine in the afternoon: We were welcomed at the 7 Eleven with free slurpees by a very friendly member of staff who taught us how to do it as neither of us had had one before: We…
Day 34 Part 1: Concord, New Hampshire
We carried on through the rest of New Hampshire. We headed into their capital city, Concord. The capitol building was very nice, as were the areas around it: Like Vermont, it was a very green state. The nature was very…
Day 33 Part 2: New Hampshire
Next we went on to New Hampshire, which has the rather extreme state motto of “Live free or die.” Their welcome sign was also unexpectedly bilingual: New Hampshire was instantly different from Vermont. Vermont is very touristy, though in a…
