Part of today’s drive from Rochester to Cleveland involved going through Erie, PA. At this point I was less than 300 miles from my starting point (displacement) but had driven 2663 miles to get there (distance). This is the closest I will be to home before I finish the trip.
I woke up to moderate rain but, over the course of the drive it cleared up such that, by the time I reached Cleveland, the sun was out. I also got a warm welcome from my wonderful friends, Patricia (known to former students as señora/madame D) and Frank, who are graciously hosting me for a couple of days. After giving me the grand tour of the western half of Cleveland and Lakewood we had a great dinner, accompanied by local beer, overlooking Lake Erie.
Today’s map and video are here.

Mr. Logic strikes again!
Sounds like you’re having a good time.
Best wishes to Patricia and Frank.
Enjoying the stories

No doubt you have visited Cleveland’s wonderful Botanical Gardens and Rock n Roll Hall of Fame before?
Day 14 already .. how the days and autumn marches on!

So at this point your average velocity was only 1/9 of your average speed. You’ll be glad to know that once you’d passed the turn-off to Chautauqua (still in NY), you are now safe from my “when I was there….” messages until probably Montana.
I enjoy your reminiscences; and I saw and photographed a Chrysler Newport at the Henry Ford Museum. It was described as the “Last of the Monsters”.
