Road Trip

We spent the day on the road driving to Lexington, KY which is where we are staying tonight. As usual, the border was a good hour's wait - and that was after arriving there at 8:45 this morning. I get the distinct feeling that the Americans want to discourage Canadians from entering to shop now that our dollar is worth more than theirs. Only 2 lanes were open for the toll booth, and the wait at customs for the volume of cars was lengthy.


We stopped at Lima, OH for a quick lunch at McDonald's and then it was on to Lexington. We got here around 4:30 and then went to look around at some shops. There is a store called Gordman's here and it's got great deals. After picking up a few things, we went for dinner at Don Pablos - a reasonably good Mexican restaurant chain. The frozen margaritas are good and so was the quesadilla. But nobody can beat Carlos & Pepe's cantina in Ft. Lauderdale - or Iguana Mia's in Ft. Myers for really great Mexican. So it's off to sleep soon and on the road again...Chattanooga here we come!
