Day 21 - Travel to Pittsburgh This was a full on travel day. Another 8 or so hours on the road. The trip meter on the car is now reading close to 3,000 klms. We are getting near to having done 2,000 miles in the car. You look at the map and those lakes look quite small. Then you start driving and driving. That 2 inches on the map turns out to be 2,000 miles. I think we bit off a little more than we thought. This will be a good lesson for the future when we do the southern part of the U.S. It was quite hard work today. The journey between the two places was very straight, flat and quite monotonous. We met our U.S. friends Nick and Lindsay, at a junction just off the Pennsylvania turnpike at around 7:30pm. We left Mum and Paul to go on by themselves and to return to Oakville. Nick and Lindsay took us back to Lindsay's parents house where we were received by their families. There were at least 10 of them and they had prepared a BBQ and reception party for us. We were quite overwhelmed and delighted to have finally met up with many of those we had got to know vicariously whilst Nick and Lindsay had been with us in the U.K. What a lovely surprise.
