Wednesday, May 25th

Today was the official start of my Vespa venture across America. I decided to leave a day early to get ahead of storms that will be passing over my route in the coming days. Today’s biggest driving challenge (besides saying goodbye to Jen and Michie) was getting out of NYC right as rush hour began. Once I finally drove out of the metro area, the scenery quickly turned to beautiful rolling hills in Pennsylvania with a winding river that I drove along. It was a welcome stretch of road after two hours of stop and go traffic.
