Tonight I'm relaxing in the A/C after an enjoyable gathering in Miami Springs, FL. It's been an eventful couple of days, as we've been on the move every day since leaving PA on Tuesday. Thursday evening we had a most enjoyable evening on Harkers Island in North Carolina, including a nice fire pit and s'mores. Later that night, we enjoyed a big American-style thunderstorm. Aberdeen likes its windstorms, and it rains there a lot, but for some atmospherical reason there's a dearth of thunder. On the drive south from North Carolina, we saw a bald eagle. Most surprising!
Today we bit the bullet and drove south into Florida. Driving in Florida is a faith-building experience. Speed limits and common road courtesy are duly ignored, as are turn signals and, frighteningly often, red lights.
We had our first slight ripple with the car, as we seem to have developed a slow leak in one of the front tires. Yesterday one tire looked a bit low, so I aired it up. Today we discovered it almost flat. So I haven attempted to patch it up with a 'fix-a-flat' sealant. It held air for over 400 miles today, but we're going to have it professionally checked on Monday before the next big day on the road. Gas mileage is still averaging over 35 MPG highway, and the car is still extremely fun to drive.
It's nice to be staying in the same place for a few days!
Andrew
