Day 23: Middlesex, Vermont to Syracuse, New York; Day 24-26: Cleveland, Ohio

We took a meandering route through the Adirondacks to Syracuse. The fall foliage was stunning along the way, but we had our eyes on the road and the destination. No time to stop to take photos. I took a couple from the passenger seat, but they don't capture the beauty. 

Our dinner was greasy and the hotel in Syracuse, careworn. Needless to say, our sanitation routine was in full swing and we were up and out early the next morning, arriving in Cleveland, despite some slowdowns due to road work, in the late afternoon. 

 On Saturday I was able to have a socially distant visit with my brother, sister-in-law, nieces and nephews-in-law and their kids. It was so wonderful to be with family and enjoy the lovely, sunny day.

 

Cleveland has done a lot of redevelopment to improve its historic downtown. Here are some shots from the neighborhood of our hotel.

Here's a shot of Greg's monitor wall and his desk during game day. On either side of his station, tall plexiglass walls block him from his colleagues right next door.

On the field: NFL Week 3, 9/27/20: Washington Football Team @ Cleveland Browns. 

Baker Mayfield threw for 2 TDs. Nick Chubb ran for two more.  Final score: Football Team 20, Browns 34. This game marked the first time in NFL history that there were 2 female coaches (one for each team) on the sidelines and a female official on the field. 

On the map: distance from last week. Philadelphia to home to Cleveland: 983 miles.

We accidentally left the map in our bags in car, so no shot of our progress today. Will catch up next time. Tomorrow we head home for a few days of a break from life on the road.
