Ohio

Forty six states down, with two to go. It was a cold night on an uncomfortable bed, so quite pleased to get into the car today. Our aim was to avoid the motorways as much as possible, and we ignored TomTom and took the scenic road clinging to the edge of a lake. We stopped at a bay, explored and took photos of a stone lighthouse. The scenic road meandered through little villages and we stopped at a library and post office.

We had lunch in Panera, where we overheard two people giving a presentation to a third person with the aim of that person committing to providing a significant ”gift” over a number of years. I left before he fully responded but could see he wasn’t convinced and letting them down gently.

We are spending the evening in an apartment in Ohio, it is quiet, cosy and comfortable. We have eaten a bowl of pasta and feel we will sleep well.
