It has been an interesting last 24 hours to say the least! (I am writing from my phone as the Internet is being funny at the house.) After a long day at work it was off to Queens to pick up Rachel from the subway as she spent the day in the city.
Now Queens is not an area I am terribly familiar with and so to say I got lost once or twice would be a severe understatement. We spent about an hour and a half me driving around in circles cursing my phone while Rachel sat in a diner--The Stop Inn--drinking coffee and eating pie patiently awaiting me to get it together and get to the right spot to pick her up.
After I found her and we drove in circles a bit longer figuring out how to get back to the highway, we were off! We only got lost half a dozen more times. Along the way we saw about 50 deer, went on a long detour in search of gas, belted our lungs out to the radio, and had an all around hilarious drive. At 12:30 we finally made it up to North Creek. After a quick episode of Game of Thrones we passed out and Part 1 of our Canadian adventure was complete.
Part 2:
We woke up to the bright and sunny wilderness. We made a lovely breakfast of tea, toast, and apricots and sat out outside to stare at the mountains and now, having packed up again, we are off to Canada. Next stop Montreal!
Quote of the Day: "We need a giant ball of yarn or something" Rachel at 10:30pm driving down the highway.
