Today was a long, hot ride. We started on the back roads of North Carolina and crossed into South Carolina on Highway 178 which was great fun for a little while. It was very twisty but was not long enough. We continued on through South Carolina on back roads until about 100 miles from Savannah, Georgia where we got onto I-95 for the last leg of the trip. South Carolina was quite interesting. There would be a big southern style mansion on one side of the street looking very clean and elegant and on the other side would be a run down house, often a pre fabricated with a front yard full of old cars and junk. There were an incredible amount of churches. As in North Carolina there was a lot of grass. All day Saturday and Sunday we saw lots of people out mowing these great expanses of grass. There are also road crews with tractors cutting the grass on the side of the road. At one gas stop we pulled in behind a pickup pulling a trailer which was a cage. In the trailer was a black bear that was being relocated. Needless to say that the bear drew a lot of attention. We finally arrived in Savannah after close to 400 miles. It was hot so weselected a motel with air conditioning and an indoor pool. We took advantage of both and later went to eat at Ruby Tuesdays which was an easy walk. Linda had a bowl of soup but I broke down and had a fish dinner with the salad bar option. Very good but too much food. I tried again to fix my GPS but did not succeed. We slept like rocks.
Oggi era un po' noioso con ecetto della strada 178. Era una strada bellissima con tanti tornanti! Linda non e' piaciuto South Carolina. Questo stato ci sembra povero. C'erano qualche case grande e elegante ma sul altro lato della strada sarebbe una casa sporca con rifiuti dappertutto. Al distributore c'era un carello e sul carello era una gabbia. Dentro c'era un'orso nero. Tutta la gente facevano le foto. Alla cena ho mangiato buono pesce e ho bevuto un martini. E poi abbiamo dormito bene. ~400 miglia oggi.
