- beating the snow storm falling on Milwaukee by 1 hour - it followed me until Chicago but it never snowed on the road.
- paying $5 to enter Indiana and paying $6.75 to leave Indiana - expensive State!
- being surrounded by trucks all the way to MA with only a few handful of cars here and there.
- 40 to 45 degree weather the entire time (no snow - a little rain sometimes).
- 3 letters... GPS!
- 2 adorable cats who did not say 1 word in the car for 20 hours - walking freely back and forth from the front to the back of the car and sleeping on my lap.
- driving at night from mid-Indiana to the end of NY State.
-arriving in MA as the sun rises in front of me - beautiful hills in the sunrise (who knew MA had hills!)
I live in the area of Boston called the South End. It is a vibrant area filled with restaurants, shops, bars and people. It is known for its brownstone homes and red bricks - it is very pretty, especially with Christmas lights.
The weather has been very nice compared to what I see in the news about Wisconsin. As I am writing, it is 62 degrees outside. I did not know the winters were so mild on the East Coast. I wonder if it is an exceptional year. Massachusetts has been under a state of emergency since last week due to 2 or 3 inches of ice falling overnight. Those of you in WI will laugh at this but it is a serious matter here and people are not used to it.
Here are some pictures of my neighborhood and those traveling cats.
