Tonight, we are safely in Stamford, Connecticut. We're well over 3,000 miles total at this point. Grace is quite dirty, but otherwise fine.

Yesterday was my birthday. We drove from Raleigh, North Carolina to Baltimore, Maryland. The morning driving south of Richmond, Virginia was really nice driving, the afternoon driving not so much. We stayed at the Lord Baltimore, a circa 1928 "grand dame" hotel in the downtown.

Today, we once again had nice driving in the morning and challenging driving in the afternoon. Ivelis drove magnificently as we navigated the George Washington Bridge and the Cross Bronx Expressway. Once we got to New Rochelle, we followed the coastline to Stamford.
