Well, here we are in Milford, Massachusetts, and all set up for
the next week. We tried to drive our route from where we
stopped yesterday to this town. A few places are still real
sketchy, but I bought a local map that’s more detailed and I
think that will help us a lot. I will be marking it tonight since the
portion in question is a segment we have to do tomorrow. It is
through the town of Lowell, MA.
Many of the towns we drove through today have so much
history. Of course, the whole east coast has a lot of history, but
some towns seem to have more than others. It was sunny all day
today, and quite comfortable - good walking weather, but we
weren’t walking today.
While I’m thinking about it I left something out of the journal
yesterday. I didn’t talk about our weather at all, and that is an
important part of each day. In the morning we had showers off
and on, then the sun came out and stayed out the rest of the day
along with wind. The wind kept it cool and comfortable.
Back to today - once we got settled in at our motel, we went into
town to have an early dinner since we had not stopped for lunch.
We ate at a nice Mexican Restaurant - ummmm, very good.
Back at our motel we got laundry started, then went back and
forth between our room and the laundry room. I got some e-mail
taken care of, and some odds and ends done that needed to be
done before tomorrow.
Now I’m through with laundry, so I’m gonna call Dave, mark
my maps, and head to bed.
