musings

Slept until almost 12 noon because the shade was very efficient. Still managed to clear off before the KOA man came round. Had breakfast at a nearby truck stop (chopped sirloin sandwich turned out to be hamburger).

A short drive and we found ourselves in the familiar surroundings of good old Cleveland. Went to the shore of the lake, sat and watched a cargo ship slide by. Went to Pieter van Erp’s for the sack of letters I knew would be there. Mrs van Erp didn’t recognise me first. I had two letters she said, and she had returned both to England. Then we went to Bryan’s place to return his radio, book and t-shirt. Shopped at Zayre’s to kill time. DB bought a transparent skateboard ($13) and Shôn got two Budweiser hats. I got nothing.

John rang the girls and we said we would go round there. Looked for a place that sold beer. Lawson’s had it but didn’t sell 3.2 so their beer stayed on the shelf and we bought some Stroh’s elsewhere. Spent the evening swapping experiences and drinking. The three girls and an Aussie called Jay had had good fun round New York State and Cape Cod. Patti’s brother had an expense account and so they could run around on the cheap. eg $100 between them in an evening.

Poor girls had work in the morning but we didn’t go to sleep until about 2:30am.
