First day on the road

Well we've done it ... we're on the road ... we are all tucked in at Farmington NY, in a KOA campground, close to Rochester. We had great music along the way, a CD specially prepared by Michèle for our trip. Great music. The weather has cooled down even more since leaving home this morning. It's now 3 degrees outside. We got a small blizzard just after Watertown but luckily it didn't last too long and turned to rain. Ross has done all the driving today, getting used to be back behind the wheel. We stopped and had lunch just before Kingston, ON. Have seen some hawks, an owl and a few groundhogs along the road. No sign of leaves yet.... Our US Custom Officer lady at the Alexandria Bay Port of Entry was really nice and commented that it was 'nice to be retired' when she heard of our travel plans and ultimate destination. Well that's about it for tonight. Went for a walk around the campground after dinner and before dessert. Wet and cold ... can't wait to feel some heat ... We are so lucky to be so warm inside our little home away from home, our feet up and reading our New Yorker magazines, thanks to Andréa.
