We finally left Yorktown! Not that we were not having a great time there with the movies marathon and the great company of Papa and Mama Malawer, but we were anxious to start our road trip adventure!
We left in pretty good weather, with a sunny day highlighting the great, white landscape resulting from the last 2 days of hard snow.
Syd was extremely excited and she is very peculiar in these moments, shouting and yaying and repeating incessantly the great news as if she wanted to believe herself: “We started!”, “We are doing it”, “Here we are”!
We turned on the radio and there he was, our favorite Paisa* pop artist, Juanes, the soundtrack for so many unforgettable moments back in Medellin. Plus, it was Mari’s favorite song!!! Perfect start.
We informed our GPS (Papa Malawer’s very useful gift) of our next destination: “Cynthia’s place” and after 5 hours, there we were! Cynthia was Syd’s almost-roommate the summer after college in the beautiful Ithaca, NY, and her and Thomas (her fantastic fiance) proved to be amazing hosts! Syd already suggested that they open a B&B after retiring. Besides making us some delicious shrimp pasta, Cynthia and Thomas offered their place as a meeting point for gathering Syd’s other friends in the area, since that was our only night in the town. And that’s how we met up with Brett, Susi and Sarah, and had lots of fun and lots of wine.
Not bad for a first day of journey, huh?
