My computer problems are solved and I have a lightning fast, connected computer with Microsoft Office and it damn near killed me. Enough on that.
So back to my first day of travels... I figure I have the photos so I might as well use them.
Here goes:

Ok. it's Tuesday and I'm leaving NYC. This is one block from my house, and I hear at least one blast every day. My mantra is I want to live long enough to have one ride on this subway.
' |
 |
| This is on Route 80 where I was bumper to bumper going back two miles... these signs were counting down as we crawled along. |
 |
| Almost there... I get to see the so-called Traffic Emergency... which turned out to be a big nothing of traffic cones blocking one lane |
 |
| This is the scenic overlook right by the Delaware Water Gap. I stopped here In January and it was way more scenic without all the leaves blocking the view, but people were having a picnic. Maybe next trip I'll have a picnic here too. |
 |
| Ever since Mark Sanford "hiking the Appalachian Trail" when he was boffing his Argentienean, I laugh every time I hear the Trail mentioned. Plus I'm fascinated by the little pictogram of the hikers. They seem awfully weighted down with their backpacks. |
 |
| Then I stopped to do some fly fishing with this man and his dog. Ok, I'm lying. This was the back of an RV ahead of me and I wanted to see if I could make it look like a real scene. |
 |
| This is the Delaware River and the Delaware Water Gap. I'm not sure what the Delaware Water Gap is. |
 |
| Heading West, out of New Jersey, past the Delaware Water Gap, into Pennsylvania |
 |
| This is a regional 7-11 type chain, and I just love the name. |
 |
| WaWa has nice landscaping. Loved this little tree. |
 |
| I had to sneak in at least one road picture. |
 |
| This is the lightswitch in my bathroom. It's always my first stop when I come in the room and I somehow got the light on without really looking at it and I'm (ahem) sitting there and all of a sudden the room goes dark. So this is a timer... I guess to save electricity. |
 |
| This is the lovely view of the lovely pool from my lovely room,, but it was drizzing rain, but I might have had a nice view. |
 |
| My $65 room. |
 |
| And now it's Wednesday and I stopped for lunch at a Wendy's and this doesn't really capture it, but it was so peaceful, out in farm country. I went through drive-thru and then sat in my car with the windows open and ate and read my book. |
 |
| Approaching Columbus, headed to Cincinnati. |

I realized I did not know what it was either, so I looked up The Delaware Water Gap on Wikipedia. Basic definition: A water gap is a geological feature where a river cuts through a mountain ridge. Interesting geological formation!
that tree in Wawa.... That's a weeping redbud, I think! A relatively new variety..I have one in my yard. Did nt know they had them so far north! Nice room for $65. Not much different looking than my 385 CHF room in Geneva! Rainy and cold here... maybe some sun tomorrow!
