In Brooklyn.

We drove from Lancaster to Brooklyn yesterday and got to our friends' place around 8:00. We hopped on the subway with Gabe and rode down to Koreatown to meet Tyler and Dae Kyu. We ate some good food, walked around a bit, and then rode back to Brooklyn. We hung out in their apartment and talked for a few hours over some New Orleans beer we had brought up from the south. We hit the sack around 1:00.

We got up this morning, got coffee, and got Geronimo moved. Now we're ready to hit the town.

Ari, Suzanna, and Lewis in Lancaster.

We visited our friends Ari and Suzanna from Sunday to Monday in Lancaster. They just had a son, Lewis Jerome. We were happy to get to meet him.

We had a great time catching up with Ari and Suzanna. We had a delicious dinner together and played some Quiddler. We ate pancakes and drank coffee for breakfast. Then we drove out to Bird-In-Hand and Intercourse to see the countryside. We ate lunch at Stoltzfus Meats. The sandwiches were great, and I really liked the birch beer.

We left Lancaster around 3:30 or so and drove to Brooklyn. A big thank you to Ari and Suzanna for having us over. It was great to see you. All the best with Lewis Jerome!

North Carolina to Lancaster.

We left Indian Trail yesterday afternoon. Tante Neet insisted that we take sandwiches, sodas, cookies, orange slices, and brownies for our trip. Thanks again!

We drove into Virginia and camped in George Washington National Forest. It was cold and snowy, but not as bad as other places at which we've camped. We woke up to cold, icy rain. We packed up the tent, got in Geronimo, and hit the road.

After getting coffee, we drove up the highway through Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. The weather sucked, to be blunt. The rain was heavy, the roads were icy, and the trucks were in all the lanes and kicking up a ton of spray. At one point I was behind, beside, and in front of a truck. The one behind me gave me his high beams a couple times, so I gave him something a couple times. We did stop at Gettysburg, which was a highlight.

The drive was about five hours, and it was tiring. We were very happy when we pulled in behind Ari and Suzanna's house in Lancaster.
