The sun rising over San Francisco Bay as we took off this morning almost made up for having the coach pick us up at 4.30am!
Our 5 hour flight across America gave enormous inspiration for patchwork. All those different coloured and patterned fields and rivers that looked like lame’ with the sun shining on them. Lakes and rivers were numerous. Some of the rivers we flew over were enormous and snaked off into the horizon. The Great Lakes are just that – GREAT! As vast as oceans. From the air NY has masses of trees. They are just starting to turn so the prospect of lots colour as we head north is very high.
We landed at JFK in the south east of the city. A fairly efficient airport, so bags were to hand and with little stress we’re on the coach and heading north to Connecticut. The expressways were starting to get a bit clogged, but heading north was easy. There was a 10km tail of traffic heading in the opposite direction. We imagined how much stitching you could get done, but how frustrated you would get.
Our coach driver for the next 11 days is Jasmin. She’s from upstate NewYork and spends most of her time driving long distance tours. I think she will fit in just fine.
Tonight we are staying at Taber Inn, Mystic CT. Mystic looks like a very pretty seaside town, complete with lighthouses. Watch out for pictures.
