Arrived in Silver Spring Maryland 2 days ago after leaving New York in my rear-view mirror. Good to get out of the rat race of the big city. Today, Friday June 9th, 2023, marks 44 years that my Grandpa Kelly passed away. In 8 days, it will be a year since my Uncle Mike Mcgowan passed away. When I think of all the friends and loved ones that have died it motivates me to keep going forward. I’m not sure where I will end up and haven’t over thought it (That Much). It still crosses my mind, however. Getting down to the Caribbean is kind of where I’m heading eventually, I think. We will see if that suits my mind and schedule.
Today I’ll get my laundry done and get the oil changed in my car, also try and find a car wash. I’m lucky to be driving a beautiful car around the country. I left Missoula 17 days ago. approx. 3000 miles of driving and a 413-round trip on a train to Toronto and back from the vicinity of Detroit (Windsor Ontario Canada).
Yesterday I took a Lime Scooter from my Hotel to the Capitol Building in Washington. D.C. 8.5 miles away. Once again, I saw the sights and for the first time, I went to Arlington National Cemetary. Seeing the Tomb of the Unkown Soldier and the place where John F. Kennedy is buried was special to me. Yesterday there were 24 Buriels taking place (at Arlington). Thats actually somewhat common (from what I understand). I am a veteran but will choose to be cremated. I’m not even sure I would qualify to be buried there. I’ll never know. Every day I feel blessed but am somewhat concerned as to where I’ll end up living the rest of my life. Thankfully I don’t have to make that decision anytime soon.
Tomorrow its off towards Ocean City Maryland for a few days. 149 miles and then probably look for a hotel near the beach. My guess is they are all near the beach (looking at a few maps of the area) LOL.
My energy is good. I feel somewhat fit.
Thanks for reading. Leave a message. I read them.
