Today was the two states walk. At 6 am it didn't look like it was going to happen. Then all hell broke out with lightening, thunder and really hard rain. My street was a river. By 8 am it was clearing up.Angel called and asked if we were still on. I said yes, and she and Darrell chose to walk downtown. They were across the street at the farmers market when I arrived. I didn't see them, so I went back to the car for my phone. When I arrived the second time they were waiting for me. Duh, should have looked across the street.
Darrell's back was hurting so he decided to stay behind. Farm markets, coffee shoppes, dunkin all held more appeal for him. And frankly, he looked like crap.
According to FB, Dave and Barb were at the market, beeping at us. We were oblivious.
So Angel and I headed out. We went up Northampton, to sixth and then went up to the library. Then headed down the Church street alley, and over to Spring Garden. Down Spring Garden past the pretty houses, to Scott Park. Then we picked up the bridge ramp and headed over the toll bridge.
It was Angel's first time walking over the toll bridge. Knowing her, she hasn't driven over it much either. There's a free one a stone's throw away. We took the exit and went under the bridge down to Main Street. At Main we turned and headed into town.
When I'm in P'burg, I like to climb the Bollman Street stairs. And we did. At the top we turned left to come back down the street. But then we discovered
Another set of stairs! We had to go up them. So we went to the corner, around the block and up those stairs. Then it was back to Main and over the Free Bridge.
At Scott Park we found our first Little Free Library. We crossed over to third and headed up third to Ferry.
Angel shot this as we past Sette Luna, near the post office. I must remember not to wear shorts. Those back-of-knees are disgusting.
At the post office we found another Little Free Library. This one apparently had a leaky roof. The books were wet, and it stunk a little. Love this side with Curious George, Clifford the red dog, Charlotte, and the Cheshire cat.
Then it was back Second to Northampton and the search to find Darrell.
It was about 3 miles, covered two states and two towns.

I often took the toll bridge over, but never back because that's when you have to pay the toll
