In Rochester

Thursday, 10/11

It's a sunny, crisp morning...we left Canton at around 8:30am.  Odometer check: 91,771 miles, which means that we've traveled 9,036 miles so far on this trip.  Nils was amazed.  A lot of those miles were, fortunately, without the trailer hitched up!!  We were at our campsite by 2pm (in LeRoy, NY, about 20 mins drive from campus) and met up with Bjorn in his "new" fraternity house by 3pm.  The house is big and in a gorgeous location (within view of the Genesee River, very centrally located on the campus).  They have two gigantic semi-circular sectional couches (that look an awful lot like leather) which look normal-sized in their very big living room.  They also have a pool table, an industrial kitchen (quite understocked in the utensil and plate depts!) and a great big porch off of the living room. Bjorn even cleaned up his bedroom before we got there.   We picked up Lindsay (Bjorn's lovely girlfriend) a little later and then went out for early dinner at the Han Noodle Bar, one of our favorite places to eat in Rochester.  Took along Sake and wine and it was a real party.

Then, off to our cold campsite....it's supposed to not quite freeze, and we're very happy about that.
