Der erste Teil, immerhin 160 km, war durchs Gebirge und pausenlos kurvig. Rtselhafter Weise gab es praktisch keine Straenschilder, aber dann kam unerwartet ein Warnschild, dass eine Kurve kommt. Und bitte was ist mit all den anderen Kurven, die ein unbeschildertes Leben fhren mssen??

First let me say, there was no blog entry yesterday. It was purely a moving day500 miles across the interstate. There was really nothing to report except perhaps the new hotel that we stayed in last night. La Quinta in State Rd 933 in South Bend was brand new.
