Saturday, October 17
After a good night's sleep the 3 hour drive from Takoma Park to Charlottesville should have been a cinch, but there I was, staring blankly into the distance no matter how hard I squinted or how loud I sang... until I broke out the "hot" lollipop Aunt V had given me.
Like a shot of espresso, it woke me right up! Not sure what was in it, since all I could taste was cinnamon, but it was sweet, brown, and definitely a little spicy. I'm going to guess cayenne (because of the earthiness) and brown sugar, but it could just as easily been maple syrup under all that cinnamon. Wonder where I can get more of those things? They'd be my constant companions for the rest of the trip.
Made it to Zu and Ian's with no problems, except for a run in with a curb due to the solar panels sliding across the dashboard on a left turn. I limped on gingerly and pulled up to the house around 5pm.
