I rode the van today and there wasn’t much to really talk about. The first part of the day was a bit challenging because the cyclists took a bike path, which of course means that I couldn’t follow them. The standard procedure in that case is to follow them as closely as I could, but that often results in getting lost, so I ended up using Google directions. We got to the volunteer fire station pretty early. We were only about 25-30 minutes drive from where I went to graduate school in Baltimore, but it wasn’t worth it to go all the way there. It ended up being a moot point because the grocery store next door - Santino’s - was amazing and had all the food I miss from the Maryland area. Most important was Black and White cookies, which are actually a cupcake top flattened in the form of. cookie and then frosted half with chocolate and half with vanilla. I also left the gun and took a hand-made canoli. It’s quite possible that I eat too much!
