Day 3: Rawr! More seafood, please!
Sunday, September 5, 2010 at 5:47PM We decided to split off from the group this morning. We left about 20 minutes before they were to be setting out. We stopped in Naples, ME for lunch. We both had a cup of New England clam chowder and a lobster roll. Very tasty.
We had a bit of a laugh as we rode along after lunch. The eastern US states seem to enjoy naming their towns after far-off places. We rode through South China, Poland, and Naples to name a few. It was almost like we had a whirl-wind world tour in the span of a few hours!
So far we have found the majority of US drivers to be extremely courteous. Not only will they move over for you if you are merging onto any of the interstate highways, they also move over (one single lane highways) almost onto the shoulder to let you pass if they think they're holding you up. Wow. Many thanks and kudos to all of you. =)
The highlight of the day was riding on Route 112. It was obviously a favoured local riding road as we saw many, many motorcycles on it, travelling in both directions. This was the only time that we got rained on. And it was only a very light rain.
We arrived at the hotel about an hour ago. To our surprise, we're the first ones here. Unfortunately, we are not able to check-in until Rory arrives. So in the mean time, we've worked on yesterday's and today's postings. We hope you've enjoyed them. =)
