We made it to the infamous state of New York today (Day 2 of
the road trip, May 1, 2012), crossing the state line at about 6:45pm local time
J We drove for another couple of hours before we
stopped in Syracuse, New York for the night. Mapquest tells us we will spend the
first few hours of our trip tomorrow continuing to drive through New York.
If you look closely you can see the green sign to the right
of the interstate welcoming us to the State of New York J
I had been craving steak all day long and we finally sat
down to supper at Ruby Tuesday’s at about 9pm where we both ate delicious steaks
and watched the Stanley Cup playoffs again! Gotta love hockey playoff time! It
was a nice way to end a long day of driving which all began in the state of
Maine…
Day 2’s driving began from Bangor, Maine and the weather was
not pleasant. It was raining from the time we started driving until about
suppertime, when the constant, and at times very heavy rain, turned into light
showers. Despite the unpleasant weather, we drove through the rest of Maine and
crossed the New Hampshire state line at around 1:30pm. We did not get a picture
of the actual New Hampshire state sign as it was posted in the middle of a
bridge. We did, however, get a picture of the bridge just before we crossed it.
You can imagine the sign there J
Notice the nasty weather and the windshield wiper crossing
the camera lens as I snap the picture of the bridge through which runs the
Maine/New Hampshire state line
We passed through New Hampshire in about an hour. We did not
see any moose warning signs in the part of the state we drove through which I found
interesting since the only other time I saw a moose on the side of the road was
in 2008 in New Hampshire. Many motorists, including me, pulled over and were
able to snap pictures and take video of that moose. The lack of moose signs
continued into the state of Massachusetts (very awkward name to say might I
add) which we entered at about 2:30pm.
No pictures of any Massachusetts state signs so I took this picture of
interstate signs indicating Boston (on the left) and Worcester (on the right).
This also gives you a better idea of the rain we were driving in. Visibility
was definitely poor.
The thing I noticed most about the motorists in
Massachusetts was that they were ALL talking on their cell phones as they
drove! Guess it’s not illegal there! It is in Nova Scotia so this
was very intriguing to me.
We are stopping at a service area in New York, so I am going to post
this now. I will write about Day 3’s driving adventures tonight or tomorrow.
And of course, will post any additions to Day 2’s adventures that I may have
forgotten.
