We Are Off! — Finding A Path

Our wonderful house sitters, Frank and Kerstin, arrived Tuesday! Yay! Lyla has taken to them extremely well, so we felt very little trepidation in leaving the house and our pets in their capable hands.

We drove through Boston south, and then, due to absurd GPS input, ended up at the edges of NYC. Boston was crazy busy, being a Friday and also Saint Patrick’s Day. Boston loves St. Paddy’s Day. We hit NYC rush-hour traffic, too. So. Much. Fun. NOT!

We constantly reminded each other that part of the beauty of our long trek will be not having to drive in big cities for quite some time. The universe was perhaps reminding us to look forward to the many gifts that we will find on the trail, not the least of which is no car traffic. Ha!
