on the road

It's been just over 5 weeks that we've been in NYC. Arrived on the island April 26, crossing the G Washington Bridge, ending a road trip that had started 4 1/2 days earlier--when we crossed the Bay Bridge, leaving SF. I-80 all the way--across California and the Sierras; across the barren landscapes of Nevada and Utah, with a stop in Salt Lake City to see my cousin at the Univ of Utah; into the plains--Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio--with plenty of rain on those plains; finally into the East--Pennsylvania, NJ, and finally Manhattan.

I had thought of bringing "On the Road" to read on the trip. Wish I had.
