We were up early (about 7 a.m.) and made a lot of progress. We are spending the night in Hershey, Pennsylvania. That is over 1000 kms (about 625 miles) in one day. However, I'm not sure that we can maintain this pace every day.
In Bangor this morning, there was heavy frost on the car windows, although as soon as the sun came out, it began to warm up. However, it was very interesting to observe the trees as we travelled south. In Maine, they were just starting to bud. However, by New Jersey and Pennsylvania, the leaves are getting quite far out. Also, there were flowering trees out that do not bloom in Halifax until well into June. Also, the temperatures went up quite remarkably. It was in the high 60s by this afternoon.
Tomorrow, we'll be going farther south. I'm not too sure where as the GPS system has plotted out the course, but we never know which highway next until about 2 miles before. Yesterday, when we were getting used to the Tomtom GPS, Barbara at one point thought that it was not directing us correctly. We weren't sure exactly where we were, so we pulled off the highway and had to ask directions. It turned out that the Tomtom was correct; we just had to keep going. Today I told Barbara just to do whatever she (we are using a female voice) said to do. "In Tomtom we trust." Today at one point I was surprised at the route she was directing, but I remarked to Barbara, "I guess Tomtom knows best."
Although when we were in a traffic jam in the Bronx, New York, I was again wondering.
