It was quite a day, but the most unusual incident occurred on the highway south, while we were driving north. We were on the Merritt Parkway, in New Jersey. It was raining cats and dogs in addition to thunder and lightning. All of a sudden, our lanes slowed down to a crawl, so we knew something had happened. I was driving. Finally we saw a tree right across the whole highway and directly on top of a car and a truck. It must have been a terrible event. Can you imagine driving down the highway at a fast speed and all of a sudden a tree trunk lands on your car. Fortunately, the main trunk did not hit the car directly, but landed on the hood, also the truck, but they were both covered with branches. It was quite a sight.
In addition, it rained all day, most of the time hard. Yesterday, when leaving the farm at 5:00 pm, we decided to allow the GPS direct our path. Unfortunately, it took us right down into the heart of New York and the traffic was terrible. Many highways were under construction so the GPS directed us around the construction, meaning that we drove on many local roads. But we still enjoyed the day, finally arriving at a place just 15 hours away from Nova Scotia. We hope the weather will be better tomorrow.
