Rainy roadtrip

After trekking around France for two weeks this past spring without a notebook or a laptop, I have come to realize that I must document any and all excursions that I embark on. So, since we planned a trip for this holiday weekend, I figured it'd be a great place to start.

We left for Niagara Falls around 8 o'clock this morning, spending most of our journey below pelting raindrops (note the photo over the Hudson River bridge) and the darkest storm clouds I have ever seen. Now, I know the Hudson Valley and Adirondacks are well known for their impeccable sunsets, and gorgeously pink and purple skies, but I'd like it known that they, too, have black skies, and they are not cool.


We did manage, however, to get a bit off the beaten path (I-90); we explored a 3-hour section of the Oregon Trail (Rte. 20 in upstate New York, if you're interested). My next post will highlight my two favorite stops. For now, just know that we arrived safely to Grand Island.
