Yes, it was an exhausting automobile trip from Rhode Island to Santa Fe. Four days of driving (for BSK) and three nights at overpriced motels/hotels. BSK doesn’t trust HG at the wheel so relentless BSK drives on, pausing ony for gas and bathroom stops. Toby, The Wonder Dog, is the best traveler, a quiet friendly, cuddly presence. Previously, HG enjoyed swimming in hotel indoor pools (and lounging in hot tubs). However, Covid has made it too risky for the old fellow. HG/BSK dined in their hotel rooms on good stuff BSK picked up at Italian shops in Providence. Tortellini in brodo. Bluefish pate (superlative)/ Octopus salad. Snail salad. Roasted peppers. Truffle cheese. Crusty bread. Middle Eastern meat pies from Fall River, MA. Much good red wine. Excellent menu. The trip (despite the food and wine) was too tiring (even for expert long distance driver BSK). Next time it will be Southwest Airlines for HG/BSK.
