A busy few days

It's been a busy few days but finally I have a cup of tea to hand, free Wi-fi to use and time to put my thoughts on screen.

Saturday was a hectic drive from Harrisburg. PA via New Jersey and New York and on into Cos Cob, CT where we were staying with some friends for a couple of nights. The journey had a couple of highlights, the first being the Delaware Water Gap, seeing the break in the mountains where the river had broken through, beautiful scenery considering it was just of the interstate. The second notable bit of the journey was as a result of having got stuck in delays on the I95 after the George Washington Bridge (by the way, awesome bridge with great views). We decided in our infinite wisdom to divert through the Bronx. Next time I do that I need a much better map. The Bronx is a very unnerving place and anyone driving around their needs nerves of steal and a willingness to push the car into gaps that may not entirely exist.

Finally and only an hour late we arrive with our friends in Connecticut. Their is one thing I will say about Americans is the ones I have met are friendly and trusting once they get to know you. I am not sure how willing I would be to have people I have only met once before stay at my house, but our friends were and to be honest their is much that most Englishmen should learn from that.
