On the way to NYC

Evelyn had been up until 2, so we slept in. I got up and, thinking it would be too late to walk, took a shower and went out to eat some oatmeal. Evelyn got up, showered, and took me to walk. Of course, it was warmer by then, so I began to sweat. When we finished our walk, it would have been nice to take another shower, but I didn’t. We dressed and went to the hospital for lunch and work. There was a muscular man recovering from arm surgery drank about 6 small cans of Sprite. That was a first for us. We did our tour and left around 3 to prepare for our trip to Greenville. We took a nap before leaving. I took the trash on the way to Asheville where we went to have our book of E. A. Poe poems evaluated. We waited for more than an hour to see the evaluator and learned that he didn’t know much about books but did give me a number in Florida to call for some help. We also learned that some of our coins were only worth what we had paid for them. I was not surprised. We had a coupon for Frank’s pizza so we went to Tunnel Road to have a calzone and Stromboli. They were huge, so we shared half of each and took the remainder to eat when we arrive in NYC. Gas is cheaper in SC (actually, aside from CA and NY it is more expensive in NC) so I always say I want to cross the state line on fumes. Well, we did. What I didn’t know was that the first gas station was 20+ miles from the line. With the Grace of God, we made it to the station. We then went on to Greenville. We were an hour early as planned. We checked our bags and waited for the train. We boarded and went to our sleeper which was different from any we have had previously. It was a roomette as before but had a stool and small sink in it. I will try to publish pictures at the hotel. We dressed for bed and began our jostled sleeping night, Evelyn in the upper and I in the lower berth.
