We finally left Syracuse, and it’s good to get back on the road and making forward progress. We started off a little slow today. We had to catch a ride back to the place we left the trail, and the sky was spitting a cold misty rain. Tough to get going, but we finally stepped out.
One of the best things about being back on the road was that we started to pick up some of our pilgrimage habits. Based on a clever Instagram follower, Dad’s taken up the challenge of photobombing any selfie I take during the trip. It’s become a bit of a game, and he turned in what I think were some comic genius performances this afternoon.
This old dude keeps photobombing me no matter where I go!
I couldn’t stop laughing at his antics. Good stuff.
I also am glad we’ve cleared the city to the west. There are great advantages to walking in a city. Restrooms are easy to come by, and just about any service you need (and some that you don’t) are never too far away.
On the other hand, the traffic is worse, the shoulders of the roads are generally narrower, and the scenery is generally not quite as nice. One exception to the scenery bit are the public displays of artwork. I love coming across these islands of creative genius during our urban explorations.
You never can tell what you might stumble upon while wandering around a city.
People are really endlessly fun, and today was no exception.
It’s good to be back on the road, and we’re looking forward to getting back into our travelling rhythm.
