Manhattan – Astoria

Day 47

We woke up and headed across the street for some breakfast. Walking down the street I all I could think of was Rambo. Inside the dinner it was what looked to be a typical morning. Mostly locals getting their breakfast on their way to work and one guy getting his “dinner” on the way home….

Day 46

We woke up and headed over to the dinner on the other side of town for some breakfast. The other side of town being just over a mile away. I was confused and a little worried about weather this would work. On line I found three different places all with the same address with three…

Day 45

We woke up and rolled over for a few more minutes. Neither of us had a great sleep. Shortly Jerry got in the shower and I started packing up. We walked a block or two to go the the cafe the hotel recommend us for breakfast. No pancakes! Their french toast came fried and covered…

Day 44

We woke up and went to the connected dinner for some breakfast. I was excited for an early morning start… for the last 400, maybe 500 miles everyone has warned us that Osoyoos is the hottest place in Canada. Everyone warned us to make sure we have enough water, and are properly dressed. One one…

Day 41

We woke up, got ready and headed across the street for breakfast. As we approached I thought again, we will be waiting outside before they open. However, not only were they open but other people were already sitting inside. They were open before ‘opening’ early enough for these other people to already be sitting. This…

Day 40

I was surprisingly not very tired for bed. Not that I was going to stay awake all night but when we talked about going to sleep I read on the phone for a while more. Then the alarm went off. I had a quick pee before Jerry got in the shower and I got dressed…

Day 39

We woke up looking at a big day. We got ready and headed out. The only place in town for breakfast was about a mile away. These places that only have a single option for breakfast…  We arrived before they opened and stood outside watching the sleepy town start to come to life. Two women…

Day 38

I went to the office to check out the continental breakfast. Kids cereal, coffee and bread with a toaster. We’re gonna need better then this. I look at the map and see a place up the road that might have a slightly better breakfast. We headed down the street. It was kind of nice to…
