More Roadtrip thoughts

I am back. Just to continue on with our little road trip, it was the first time in over 20 years that I had been on the I-90 east going towards Albany. I/we were very taken by the scenery as we moved further east from Buffalo and Rochester towards Syracuse. You go from the Finger Lakes region to the Adirondacks. That is when the hills and green (treed) mountains appear in the distance and the road starts to follow their contours.

I was also thinking that I do not recall any of that on my last journey in that direction. I was suddenly brought back to 1984. It was October and it was a frat road (t)rip to Renessealer Polytechnical Institute (RPI) in beautiful Troy, New York (which near Albany). As I thought about it, it was apparent why I do not recall the scenery.

As we were taking our pledges, Willie was driving. We did not leave until after classes on the Friday, so it was dark or twilight at best, when we hit the most scenic parts of the trip. On the way back on the Sunday, I was too trashed to really notice anything around me. It was the trip where I made my stand, and made myself puke. I have not had a drink of Southern Comfort since. I spent a slow and "crispy" Saturday, but got a second wind to party and drink by the night. Just in time for some college parties. whoo hooo!

Doing it this way, I really enjoyed the journey. Or at least what we saw on the journey. I am thinking that next time, we leave the Interstate and use those two lane state highways. Then you really see the sights. Of course, at some point you may hear "Mr., you sure got a purdy mouth." which does not please me.

That is all for now. Ciao!
