We are planning the grand crossing of the U.S. by car. On our way to Finisterre, we'll see the East Coast. It will be a great adventure in our own country, something we've never done! So, watch for photos.

We are in search of the fall colors and should come through New Hampshire, Vermont and up into Maine right at the best time. Would be fun to buy a bottle of maple syrup from someone local, sample harvest veggies from a roadside stand, shop for Shaker furniture, check out antique stores and old boat building sheds. Ah, travel to new places, where we don't have to have a second language. I'm sure missing the sound of Spanish spoken everywhere by everyone. Hope the language knowledge is still with me, when we get to the Dominican Republic or Puerto Rico! And maybe the French will still be viable after 40 years from my last French class. It will be useful in some Caribbean stops!!
