To follow up on yesterday, the Blue Water Bridge from Sarnia to Port Huron was bumper-to-bumper in both directions, on a weekday! The wait was 43 minutes to get to the checkpoint but we got through in less than 2 minutes at the booth. The most challenging question was "Why are you carrying so much chocolate and jujubes?" Brandy remained silent and went unnoticed ---- DA,DT.
We had a really filling (goodies and gab) post-Christmas visit with the proprietors of the Cookson Motel (formerly Bates). Then we woke predawn today to find the car coated in ice --- freezing rain had fallen overnight. Painfully slow driving til daylight and traffic made the interstate I-75 faster. But it was a 12-hour day in transit, so we passed through 4 states and a season's worth of weather. From snow/ice to pouring rains to springtime warmth to a pretty sunset. More like March than December.
So we're spending the night south of Atlanta. Brandy came in in Pat's shoulder bag --- DA,DT at the motel desk. This must be a neighbourhood settled by ancient Scots ---- there's a Scottish restaurant named McDonald's, local cuisine called McFlurry, and even the inn is "Scottish"!
