When we heard it would cost $450 to ship one of Robert's paintings to Boston for an exhibition, we decided it would be fun (and cheaper) to deliver it ourselves. Hm..... So we rented a car.....
This is somewhere in Connecticut. (Photos always awful from moving vehicle).
And somewhere in Massachusetts with a great deal of road ahead of us.
and this is almost anywhere along the way (note American flag.)
Gas and Big Mac's....... How I detest the current buzzword 'iconic'....oh well.
There was a drive up window at Honeydew Donuts.....
but we plumped for MacDonalds.....
an irresistible gun.
So we got there, delivered the painting....
savored the delights of Cambridge (post tomorrow)
turned round the next morning and found this glorious onion dome in Hartford marked United States Armaments Manufactury....
and some one (Uncle Sam? Honest Abe? A car salesman) peeping out at us over the hedge. Safe home now 436 miles later. Math: Car rental $150 + gas $50 + parking and tolls $25 + assorted horrible snacks + gift for my cousin who had us to stay.......equals grand savings of approximately 37cents....
