Days 55 Binghamton to Concord, New Hampshire (281 Miles- 9,925 Total)

Sunday's travel brought us just shy of the 10,000 mile mark as we crossed to New Hampshire for tomorrow's shows. With the temperature dropping we passed frozen rivers and lakes. One thing we have noticed with the east coast is a substantial increase in the places we can get tea, but even that couldn't have prepared me for the miraculous discovery we made at one gas station. Not content with a standard takeaway cup, this particular gas station sported a cup that left me full of wonder and awe at its ingenuity. I was so taken with the cup that I have made a short infomercial for it below (see how impressed Alex is)



Warmed by my tea we then traveled through Vermont and some of the most stunning scenery we've seen so far. Towering mountains and frozen lakes made the scenery spectacular and the drive an actual pleasure. As we wove through the mountain we found the temperature drop further and the photo below was one of the most painful experiences of the day, words cannot describe how cold I am when this was taken (of course had it been taken in Newcastle there would have been a guy in a Ben Sherman shirt and a woman in a mini skirt and boob tube supping a Bacardi Breezer next to us).


Now I'm in the comfort and warmth of a Comfort Inn, preparing for tonight's 2 hour TV special of "24" which is a prequel of season 7, due here in January (finally American TV starts to prove its worth).

Tomorrow, New York!!
