Day 2

We set off for Fallingwater at about 9 a.m. (would have left sooner, but "A" seemed like she could just sleep and sleep!).

"A" is basically a good road traveler, and this was no exception. But though she had reluctantly agreed to it in advance, the impending reality of a tour at Fallingwater caught up to her and there was little peace for the last hour of our drive to Fallingwater.

Once there, she tolerated the tour, which Laura and I really liked, but the equilibrium of our day was never quite right again. Well, "tomorrow is another day".

As for Fallingwater, Laura and I both were really impressed, despite the fact that neither of us have been Frank Lloyd Wright fans (so, of course, we went and bought a house in Berkeley that uses many of his elements of design!).

Canfield, OH is not much to write home about -- sprawl and more sprawl. To give you a sense of how delightful it is, our dinner was eaten at a chain restaurant (we did have our pick of chain restaurants, mind you) and the evening's entertainment was walking around a Michael's Crafts store.

It is 7:20 a.m. on Wednesday and we are going to take a dip in the hotel's pool, then it's off to beautiful Fremont, IN. It is only a four hour drive and that is a relief. When I wrote at the beginning of the blog that we are wimps about long driving days, I wasn't kidding -- yesterday's 7 hours was more than we were comfortable with.
