First Stop

---

We finally got on our way on Monday, Oct 17th - a day later than anticipated. We drove through MD, PA, OH and IN to the final destination for the day: the home of Dan & Cathy Sullivan in Rochester, IN. We pulled into Dan & Cathy's driveway around midnight - a long day's drive, so it was great to have our first stop at a friend's house. They were kind enough to stay up late waiting for us & gave us a warm welcome once we finally arrived.

The following morning (Tuesday, Oct. 18th), we got a good look around the area...here's a picture of the Sullivan Farm...he left his home in DC for this???

Actually, Ken and I came across the Sullivan farm on a great bike ride we took through the rolling country roads around Dan & Cathy's home (no relation to the owners of the Sullivan farm). Dan & Cathy have a beautiful house, surrounded by farmland, and a whole other world away from DC. After our bike ride, I got a lesson from Dan in how to drive a John Deere tractor - Dan's been getting lots of practice with driving his tractor in the few weeks since they moved into their new home. We extend our thanks to Dan & Cathy for the wonderful hospitality and great company!

Tomorrow (Wednesday, Oct 19th), we start out again.
