1/29/17 Sunday - On the Road

Well, despite our intentions to take our time this morning, we woke up at 3:45 and were on the road at 4:40 AM.  It was 31 degrees and cloudy.  After a few wrong turns in New Jersey (not intentional), we stopped for breakfast along the Turnpike.  We decided not to go the whole way on I-95 so took the slower, but more scenic route down the DelMarva peninsula before cutting back to the beltway below D.C.  We stopped for a quick bite just above Richmond and arrived in Rocky Mount, NC about 4:30.  We have just come back from taking a walk down some small side roads ending at a hospital complex and will go to a local diner for dinner in a bit.  We wanted to walk to the diner as it is just a mile, but there are no sidewalks here and it will be dark when we return.  It is 51 and sunny here.  Our entertainment (when the traffic wasn't crazy) was listening to an audio recording of The Pillars of the Earth.  What a great story - really makes the time go by.  We are taking our time going down as we are not expected at our accommodations in Largo, FL until Tuesday.
