Aug 8-10, 2008 Newark, Delaware & Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Traveling on the east coast by car means seeing a lot of states in a fairly short period of time! Heather enjoyed spotting license plates from the entire country, and in the last two weeks we have definitely seen: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut (the constitution state), Delaware (the first state), Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire (crazy driver), New Jersey, New York (my rental car), North Carolina (first in flight), Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee (where Heather was born), Texas, Virginia, Washington, Washington D.C.

Derek's bachelor pad in Newark, Delaware has provided us with shelter and a great sofa. We watched the opening of the 2008 Bejing Olympics, and a bit of soccer, beach volleyball, and cycling. The highlight of this leg of the trip was attending the Philadelphia Phillies game against the Pittsburg Pirates on Saturday night, but the traffic getting there was a bummer. Derek's computer also crashed, and Dieu merci, he had enough time to completely erase and reinstall everything at his work, Hostmysite.com. We leave tonight for Lyon, and with a 5 hour layover in Paris, we will arrive at 2pm local time on Monday.

L'aventure commence enfin!
