New York
In New York we had planned three days of sightseeing and parked at the long term parking at JFK – expecting that it would be the best place to park the van (the van is too high for parking garages and we thought it would be reasonably safe).
We have now left New York and while we did get to see some of Washington DC we get cut short by the tropical stom Hanna.
We are now in Charlottesville, VA, at the beginning of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Right now we’re watching the hurricane Ike which is suppose to pass very close to the Florida Keys in the next week or so. We, however, didn’t expect to be there in before almost two weeks.
Boston was our entry to New England and we tried both Lobster Roll and New England clam chowder here at the Quincy Market. Boston is a very nice city with many interesting hotspots – as I said we got the “traditional stuff†at the market. We got the biggest Canneloni ever and an enormous Boston Cream Puff in The North End (or Little Italy) and we got “Nouveau Indian Cuisine†on Newbury Street, the premier shopping street that will make your credit card burn a whole in your pocket crying â€let me out†😉
