USA Day 9: Pittsburgh
May. 30th, 2008 11:40 pm(Note: Back in Australia now and catching up on the days in between now I've got some time - may take a few days to catch up completely)
Leaving New York, today was another big driving day, particularly since Lily the Queen of Navigation took us through Maryland by mistake. Um... oops?
Fortunately it wasn’t quite as far out of our way as we’d feared when we first saw the “You are now entering Maryland” signs – we probably only lost half an hour in the entire operation, so we must have learned something from Indiana. :P The most notable thing about the drive, actually, was getting out of the flat country that we’d been driving through for most of the trip (with the exception of going through the Catskills in New York) to go over hills and under them, through them and around them, with big leafy trees and rocky crags all around. Easily the most beautiful drive of the trip.
