Back on Rt 1

This part of Rt 1 is a bit of a wasteland. All big box stores and fast.food. Sun is being tamed by some hazy clouds, though, and there's sidewalk. We listened to the NYT podcast "The Daily" to startWeiterlesen

Useful item for long walks: earbud splitter. We're particularly liking Malcolm Gladwell's podcast, "Revisionist History." Sun hats are also very useful.
We do look a bit incongruous with our hats,Weiterlesen
