Today was mostly just driving again. By chance, I took the majority of commenter's suggestions and listened to Darcie Little Badger's A Snake Falls to Earth, having finished the Murderbot audiobook. I'm enjoying A Snake Falls to Earth so far, though I agree with sabotabby that the plot is very meandering. Currently, I care more about the story in the reflective world than in this one. But, I'm only about three hours into an 11 hour book. There isn't much more road ahead of us tomorrow, so I might not get back to it until we're making our return trip. 

We are in an actual roadside MOTEL just outside of Milford, PA.

We got off the highway ahead of this motel just to see what the town of Milford looked like and we've determined that it's worth a detour (back a few miles) just to wander around a little bit before we head on to Middletown, CT. Milford, if you are unaware, is THE town where the Milford Method of critiquing was born at Damon Knight's science fiction workshop. So, it seems appropriate for us to wander around there a bit tomorrow before the very short (only two and a half hour) drive to our AirBnB near the Wesleyan University campus. 

Hopefully, I will have some fun pictures tomorrow. 

Now, off to a shower and well-deserved sleep!

I must also visit this diner.

Yes! I, of course, made friends with the waitress/owner. I say, of course, because I do this? I end up chatting with everyone I meet and so she and I were exchanging photos of weird places we'd visited. I highly recommend this place. I think you'd love it.

Clearly, next time, we need to swing through Your Town and bring you along!

Hells yes.
