It seems a long time since that nice ride into Windsor on June 27. We were correct in our expectation of bad weather the following day; we were in and out of torrential rain most of the day as we drove in the van back to Halifax. Nancy found a great Mediterranean restaurant where we had a leisurely lunch, watching the rain. I don’t think we had a bad meal on the trip!
I drove about 3 hours Wednesday afternoon to Yarmouth, where the ferry to Bar Harbor left early the next morning. As I was driving back alone, I decided to take the ferry and eliminate about eight hours of driving. On Thursday, I had about six hours of driving to Hartford, where I had a nice visit with cousins. Friday’s six hour drive back home took eight hours, with traffic getting worse as I got closer to D.C. I was very happy to pull safely into my driveway.
Cindy, who frequently says things better than I can, summed up the trip so well that I am quoting her here:
But that being said let me say that this has been a great trip!! We’ve spent four weeks together with a group of people I know and love. Through all the decisions about to ride or not to ride, to change routes, to add just a section of shuttle I never heard one complaint. It’s been a challenge for Ken and Nancy to respond with up to 12 of us through uncertain conditions and I know we all really appreciate their effort. THANK YOU BOTH! And Cal driving van and trailer through all that fog and rain, helping us move our stuff in rain or shine, and being the techno wizard who kept us all in touch with each other, we also say THANKS!
And I say thanks to Cindy. Here’s to next year!
