Yesterday there wasn't much to say, so I didn't blog. Travalon brought me to the airport to pick up my rental car, then I drove to Tiffy's house, and after lunch at Sooshi Bay we went to the car rental place nearby to get her added to the contract so she could drive too. Then we drove, stopping for dinner at an oasis, until we got to Maumee, Ohio, outside of Toledo. We got to the hotel seven minutes after the pool closed, so we just went to bed. The one annoyance was that I had gotten a I-Pass from the rental car place, but it didn't work, so we just had to pay all the tolls.
Today we found a way to go that avoided the tolls, and was that ever scenic! The fall colors are at their peak now. At one point we were right behind a tow truck that looked a lot like the little train engine in Tomahawk.
We stopped for lunch at a place called Galaxy, thinking that sounded interesting, but it was just a sports bar. The food was fine, but what I really loved was this weeping redbud outside.
That was in Wadsworth, Ohio, and we were going to go for a walk in a nearby park, but when I put the address in, it just brought us somewhere downtown. So I put the name of the park in, and it said it was permanently closed. Huh? So we took a short walk downtown and found this cute clock.
Just as I was taking a picture of it, it suddenly started to play "Volare" with chimes.
There was also a lovely Lutheran church.
And this very opinionated vehicle.
Sorry that I don't have any photos of the stunning foliage, but it wouldn't have worked that well from a moving car. Maybe a short video would have worked - I can try that tomorrow. There were a couple of things I said were blogworthy besides the Volare Clock, but now we're having trouble remembering what they were. Tiffy's phone kept calling the Ohio Turnpike the "East West Ohio Turnpike East," or something like that, and we passed some signs for extremely long memorial highway names. Right now we are in Bellafonte, Pennsylvania, and I took a vigorous rosary walk around our hotel, but it was challenging because the sidewalks kept petering out. Tiffy is watching the Brewers, and I need to do DuoLingo. I've been trying to keep up with it. It put this message on my home screen today.
Wish I could remember what I was going to call this blog post. Guess I'll call it something boring and descriptive.
