I'm baaaack!

The trip was really enjoyable,though the only things I have to show for it is my pretty rose pin, boyshorts, lots of pics and good memories :)

The Ride to Jersey City

Foggy town (Redford).

Detour on the interstate.

Almost took wrong turn to another interstate.

Drove through Pennslyvania. Road kill aplenty (various degrees of goriness)

Broken tires lining the road (how the hell did they get there? Darling guessed that maybe they were from trucks. Image of trucks shedding tires....freaky!!!).

Missed turn to Woodbury Commons.

Turnaround was faaaar faar away, so onward to Jersey City

Missed another turn to Jersey city.

Inched towards Lincoln tunnel to NYC (that took like 1/2 hour).

Told the toll guy and he called police escort to turn us around. Whee $6 toll waived and police stopping traffic to let us through!!! Haha, I'm a VIP for all of 10 seconds.

Smell of grilled meat from the gyros stalls making us hungry.

Romantic french restaurant -- Le Petite Auberge for lunch.
