      Port Jervis

      June 4, 2017 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 16 °C

      Es el pueblito más cercano al centro budista, por lo cual era necesario llegar hasta aquí.

      Tiene 8000 habitantes y tuvo un breve boom económico a comienzos del siglo XX, pues esta ubicado en el cruce de dos ríos que servían de ruta para la extracción del cobre. Es un vértice de los Estados de Nueva York, Pensilvania y Nueva Jersey. Fue famoso también por el desarrollo de una de las rutas ferroviarias más importantes de EEUU, tanto de mercancía como de pasajeros.

      El bus nos dejó afuera del pueblo, en una iglesia cristiana, ya que no hay agencia de transporte. Con nuestro prosaico inglés pedimos orientación para buscar un taxi que nos llevará hasta el centro budista, ubicado a 15 km de aquí. Finalmente, después de una larga caminata, bajo una perenne lluvia, y de comer en un Burguer King (Si somos flexitarianos!), encontramos quien nos llevara por 20 dólares al destino final. Solo así pudimos reconocer algo de la esencia del pueblo...

    • Day 15

      I-84 Port Jervis, NY

      August 24, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 66 °F

      Getting closer! Best welcome sign on the interstate today and we’ve seen our fair share.

      Highlights from the day:
      -Splitting off of I-90 and taking I-80 south of Cleveland. Last two trips we stuck to I-90.
      -A plane flying really close to us in Indiana
      -A UPS truck pulling three trailers
      -Driving by Williamsport, PA during the semi-final game of the Little League World Series (Curaçao beat Japan in the International semi & Louisiana, where we visited this trip!, knocked off Hawaii in the USA side of the bracket. Both underdog teams won.)
      -Driving through Scranton, PA the home of the TV show The Office. Maddie and Gordie were watching the series all summer. It’s popular with the teen set now. Crazy, right?!
      -Patrick created a Lego army and said it’s a Clone War, of course it is.
      -We realized OH has a National Park crossing I-80. Cuyahoga Valley National Park - We will put it on the list for a future trip! We love National Parks 🏞
      -Uncle Dave found out the exact moment we were in Quicktown, PA and told us to slow down so we wouldn’t miss it (you crack us up, Dave! We needed some levity at hour nine!) by following our route and seeing us live on the Find Penguins app! 🐧 Fun new feature now that the app can keep track of our current location.

      Easy day for a drive across our beautiful country. Wish we could stop and explore more, but school is calling to us and we must go mold the future leaders of this wonderful country we call home and teach them to preserve its beauty forever. ❤️
