The morning started later than we expected as the dog could not be boarded before 8:00am.

The tires needed air and that one little stop was tiring and hot. Finally we made it to the highway and escaped from the city.

Once clear, we rode on secondary roads as they are fun and less travelled.

The lunch stop was at the Big Apple where neither of us had been – most likely will not return. Too many things closed, unclean tables and a big gift shop. Looked and felt like the tourist traps we’ve encountered in other travels.

Lunch is done and we are on our way.
