Day one of my travels was pure bliss. I got off to a later start than anticipated, but successfully navigated my way past the Massachusetts border (for the first time by car), through Connecticut, New York, New Jersey & Pennsylvania. It didn’t hit me until I crossed the New York state line that this trip is for real.
I spent the majority of my day in New York City, checking out the typical touristy sights: the Empire State Building, Times Square, Broadway, and our Lady Liberty. I don’t think I’ve been this giddy… ever. I can’t wait to go back & eat a New York slice to see how it compares to Portland Pie.
As a testament to how inexperienced a traveler I am… today I encountered my first toll ticket. I stopped at a toll in CT cash in hand, when the attendant handed me a ticket and waved me on. I’m quite certain he knew I had absolutely no idea what I was supposed to do with it. Needless to say, three toll tickets later, I get it.
The only minor roadblocks today were a few accidents on the interstate & endless work zones- putting back an hour from when I expected to reach my stopping point for the night.
As for tonight I’m camping out (if you consider a campground with wi-fi “camping”). Expect pictures soon!
