On the road at close to 7 a.m. - a balmy 75 degrees. What a welcome change.
I-95 was a breeze until we were 40 miles south of Washington D.C. From there until we were north of Washington it was mostly stop and go. We used I-495 to bypass the worst, but today it didn't matter because there was construction and the express lanes were all closed.
The country is really pretty. North Carolina has lots of lilies planted in the median and along side the interstate. So many trees. The poor settlers had their work cut out for them when they were setting up house.
We are in Harrisburg, PA - the motel has a larger grassy area next to a creek. As we were "Skyping" with our friend Wendy Larry saw large furry animals cavorting on the grass. We later found out they are ground hogs. There are also chickens, squirrels and cats all living happily in the grassy area.
Last night's motel was a dump - no other way to put it. I sleep with earplugs, but at 2 a.m. I heard something and checked out the window...some dude was outside smoking. The gap under the door to the room was larger enough for critters to crawl through. This morning I found a HUGE spider crawling up the side of the dirty chair. Ugh! The wasn't dirty, nor did it have an uncomfortable bed, just the entire facility was a dump.
