Monday 22nd Sept - Hallo again Philly!

We left our Fairfield Inn at 9.30 and resumed the journey north on the I95. It was a beautiful morning and the drive through Petersburg and Richmond was an easy one. The belt way around Washington was another matter as major roadworks were in progress but we eventually got through and arrived back at Marian and Bill's by 4.30 pm. I had driven around 1,000 miles in 3 days from Sandestin. On our arrival it was noticeable that the temperature had changed very little since the early morning at 72 deg F, a lot cooler than we had become used to. It was good to see Marian and Bill again but their welcome was moderated by a lack of power in their house. The electricity had been off all day and timing of a re-connection was uncertain. As we left to get a bite to eat at a restaurant the power crew turned up and by the time we returned power was restored! Christine would not have to use the bathroom by candlelight again!
