It was a nice trip through US some time ago from NY to Miami and back. I know this is not about Canada but this is our closets neighbour so maybe it would be interesting also.
It was a first step to our dream about journey through all USA's states. I want to repeat a journey of two soviet writers mr. Ilia Ilf and mr. Evgenii Petrov, they made their trip into USA between October 1935 and January 1936. They had many interesting meetings with Henri Ford, Ernest Hemingway, Charlie Chaplin, Mark Twain and so on.
And after this whole trip they wrote a book "One Storey America" ("Little Golden America" - english version of this book) about their impressions of America.
By the way this trip were repeated by two Russian TV-stars Vladimir Pozner and Ivan Urgant in 2006. They did sixteen-episode documentary mini-series One Storey America.
So we had rented a car in New York city and we were ready to start.
Highway was not so interesting for us we wanted to see real America so we were going by small roads.
If I remember correct it was a Frederica city in Delaware state.
I love roads like this.
In my childhood I wanted to be a truck driver.
We wanted to see The Chesapeake Bay Bridge
It is really amazing.
It is the longest bridge tunnel in the world.
From air it looks like that
and from space like that
Virdginia Beach
Meeting the Ocean
Our first stop should be an neighbourhood in Charlotte, North Carolina, so we wanted to reach this place before night.
But we got there around 1 am.
After staying with our friends in Charlotte we went to Orlando, Florida.
To be continued.
