AUGUST 13, Sunday

Sun/clouds. Had eggs for breaky then sat around and visited with everyone. All left by 9 p.m. and the rest of us went to bed. It was a great week-end.

This is the end of our first leg. After this, we head out to the Maritimes in September and then south to Florida. Leg 3 will take us to Texas and possibly Mexico than leg 4 will be home.

We took 76 hours driving time to get here (without side trip) , no major problems and lots of fun. Now we rest and visit for the next 3 weeks.

I've added more pictures to our "PICTURE" link, and will keep our log updated at least once a week.

bye for now
