Yesterday was a L-O-N-G day since we traveled from Deltaville, VA to Great Bridge, going through most of the bridges in Norfolk and through the Great Bridge Lock (over 70 miles). We wanted to make it through the majority of the bridges on a Sunday to avoid the weekday restrictions so we left early (6.45 am) and went through the lock at 6 pm. Shortly after the lock are some free docks so we ducked in there for the evening. It was so hot and windless last night and we'll be happy to get going this morning. We'll go through the Great Bridge Bascule bridge at 8 am, then the Turnpike Bridge at 8:30 (after restrictions), then North Landing Bridge. Our plan is to stop in Coinjock for tonight which makes for a less than 40 mile day (easy!) The weather doesn't look at that promising but at least the clouds make for cooler temps. Yesterday going through the lock, it was so hot that it wiped me out. Dinner last night was ham sandwiches on a bagel and some chips since the thought of anything hot for dinner was unappealing.
Now that we're close to Carolina, we're anxious to get home and settled. What we'll do after that is still a mystery. After Chris moves Rachel to University of Charleston in W. Virginia, we'll either do a bit more traveling (west to the Rockies this time via car) or look for jobs (horror of horrors) or perhaps even a bit of international travel (Costa Rica comes to mind).
See all of you soon!
