Well our first thought was that we shouldn't put you through the boredom that we suffered today. So, we could make up a story to tell you, but that wouldn't be fair to us. That being said, we're going to tell you the truth: Upstate New York is a bunch of farm land..with all the surrounding roads busy with construction. Oddly enough (sarcasm doesn't come across in text, does it?), the top left corner of Pennsylvania that we have to sneak through to get to Cleveland is in the same situation. Other than the construction and the three missed "Welcome to" state signs, there's not a lot to report right now. Again, it's primarily farm land that we've been looking at as we're going through the CDs we've burned and all the topics of conversation covered. We're still trying to think about the day's end rather than the large number of miles we're covering, but that's becoming more difficult when we pass a mileage sign for Cleveland every eight, thirteen, or twenty-three miles or so. It's been a long day, having left at 7 am and knowing we've got two hours still to go, but thanks to some fatherly advice from my dad, we avoided a big detour. You see Niagara Falls looks VERY close to Buffalo, NY on a map, but in real life with traffic it's a two hour+ excursion. So with that being said, we passed on that, and we're going to coast ourselves into Cleveland to see Liz Jordan (a friend from Sandwich) for the night!
...more of Upstate New York...
Made it Cleveland..well, actually Berea, Ohio. Since it's fifteen minutes past Cleveland, we got to see the city skyline, Lake Erie, and the Cavs area/Jacob's Field (Go Celts! Go Sox!). It was so great seeing Liz--our first person/stop on our seven city tour! Downtown Berea looks like a Hollywood movie set with its cute little buildings, and it's got a great local restaurant (Cornerstone Brewery) with really good food. It looks to be that food will be the focal point of our trip, but we're OK with that...
Hopefully tomorrow's drive through the rest of Ohio and Indiana on our way to Chicago will be a little bit more entertaining...riiiiight. We'll be getting into Chicago tomorrow and writing before we head to the Cubs game (and then a sports bar for the Celtics)!
Good night!
Em and Meagan
