I'm in a different part of Philly now – west I think, Ardmore – and I have been reliably informed the ridges I saw were the Appalachian (sp?) Mountains.

I leave Philly tomorrow morning and will be back in Oz on Friday morning – fingers xx'd customs & immigration will not be a pain about the jute bag I bought at a National Trust shop (and fully intend to declare!) so I don't miss my connecting flight to Cairns.

I will be very glad to get home, although I have had a fantastic time. I'm really looking forward to my shower at home, no matter how much I complain about it – at least I know its quirks!

Barb:
Hope you had a grand time with family in the UK..and it's a real stinker today here – 90 plus and sticky with it. Come to think of it, feels like home.

Which way are you flying home?

I'm presently in a suburb between Langhorne & Newtown just north of Philly, but I got to see a landscape between Chicago & Philly that had to be the inspiration for the Shiver Barrens. Sadly I don't have Google Earth on my netbook or I'd see if I can find out where it was precisely but it had me fascinated (and cursing that my camera was in the overhead locker and I couldn't get to it).

Is it as hot in Virginia as it is here today (high 80s to 90s)?
