In a big country

We have now reached Washington DC, by a very indirect route, taking in the breathetaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the serene island beauty of Cape Charles on the way.
This really is a big country, for someone from a tiny island (although very beautiful), the sheer scale of everything is stunning. From the Blue Ridge Parkway the mountains stretch back in wave after wave like a vast frozen sea, and they really are blue. To get to Cape Charles we went over bridges and under tunnels for what must have been 20 miles accross the sea.

Next stops are seeing one of Vince's hockey buddies near Wilmington, onto Baltimore and then hopefully see his cousin in New Jersey.

Lovely old sign in Roanoke
