If I didn't know better I would have sworn I was still in my 'local' city of Chattanooga. Seemed almost like any other day back home - with a few twists. We made a quick stop at the 'local' post office in West Springfield, OH for Jess to mail some of her unnecessary/luxury items home. Then it was off to the 'local' library in Conneaut, OH to catch up on internet business. A few miles of casual lake front bike riding along 'local' Lake Erie worked up our appetites up for lunch at a small 'local' diner in Ashtabula, OH. And just to round out the day we took in a movie at the local theatre! (Sex in the City 2) Now we are tucked away and hidden on a 'local' property for sale in Saybrook, OH!
It's wonderful to be able to experience the hometown flare in each small burg we pass through. And although we know they are all unique in their own right the people in each little community are not unlike the people back home. They are going about their daily routine; working, earning a living, raising a family, baking bread, pumping gas, waiting tables, selling movie tickets, and all the other tasks that individuals do everyday. We have the great honor of glimpsing their spirits and lives; though ever so momentarily. As we continue on our path we hope that the interactions we have impact their lives as much as it does ours.

I had a work thing in Erie, PA once. I thought it was a great little city. I see you are heading in Cleveland's direction next. Quite a contrast, I would think. :-) I've enjoyed reading your blog! Take care!
