This, our second long road trip together, was very exciting. Having been wooed by the amazing people of the United States on the first trip, we looked forward to seeing, meeting more on this one! We met old friends along the way, made some new ones.We experienced restaurants recommended by the locals, along with a few familiar eateries. We experienced a purple mountain's majesty, above the fruited plain. a palace made of corn, the joy of an open rest stop, compass roses blooming the very streets. Come along with me and hear the roar of the Pacific, and then of course, returning to a place like no other, home.
