Today we left the hotel very early, around 7 in the morning, because we had almost 1.100 kilometers ahead until we reach NashvilleIn our Coast to coast trip through the United States and Canada.
In the morning, with all the sun on us, we had to stop several times to walk, drink some coffee and/or Coca Cola, and even sleep for a while, because I was drowsy.
The truth is that my eyes were closing, and since Aurora did not have the original of her driving license, essential for the international driving license valid, we preferred not to risk her driving, and we have decided to stop from time to time.
The roads are fantastic, well indicated, where it is very difficult to get lost, and Maggie (The GPS) and I already know each other and we are on good terms after a week of sharing an itinerary.
The information posters on the highways (interstates) they are very complete. At each exit they inform you of the available gas stations, existing accommodations and restaurants, nearby tourist places...
Important: the price of gasoline It is approximately half that in Spain.
Generally, police cars hide under bridges, in the space between the two directions of travel on the highway.
We are already beginning to realize that the long roads make essential a fixative speed in the car.
This way, your feet can rest for much of the journey.
On Route we stopped to eat in an establishment called Quaker Barrel, which we had already visited on another occasion.
It is a chain that you find next to highways, with a lot of preponderance in the east and south of the United States, whose stores combine a quality souvenir store with a restaurant service that offers traditional, tasty and homemade cuisine. .
The waitresses are ladies of a certain age, very friendly and helpful.
We ate those homemade delicacies very well, yes, without beer. Really the Quaker Barrel We really liked them, and we have always stopped wherever we saw them, even if it was just to visit the store.
Until Tennessee The maximum speed was 65 miles per hour, but in that state it rose to 70 miles.
It seems that each state has its autonomy regarding speed limits.
After a very long day on the road, we arrived at the hotel near Nashville around 21 p.m., but since central time applies in this city, we have gained an hour, so it is actually 20 p.m.
We had dinner at the hotel, what we bought at the supermarket, accompanied by the Bud (or better, the bud,s), which taste like glory after the long day of transition.
It has been a hard day, very hard, and we have decided that traveling more than 700 kilometers a day is an exaggeration.
