Day Five

Actually slept quite a lot, although maybe losing the hour made it seem as though we had slept for longer. Woke to the devastating news that Ermington's cricket match had been called off due to rain. Looked out the window and it wasn't raining. Remembered we were actually somewhere where the weather is nice.

Got up and had breakfast in the hotel. Packed up and hit the road. Ann decided that she wanted to drive. Headed out of Michigan back into Indiana. Nearly got attacked by a crop dusting plane.

I picked a helluva day to quit drinkin'!

Bonus points if you can get the movie from that quote. Paul Knightley will be able to.

Stopped for a quick break. Broke our Dunkin' Donuts duck, having never been there before. It was alright, I had a strawberry iced ring, Ann had something.

Carried on driving, moving into Ohio. Plugged in the iPod and put our 60/70s rock music on as we went. Nothing better than cruising to Creedance Clearwater Revival and Grand Funk Railroad. Went off the beaten track for lunch, driving off piste until we hit Celina. Parked up by the old courthouse. Ate in the Fountain Restaurant. It was ace, old school diner in the heart of the town.

Scrap at the Fountain

As we walked back across the street to the car, I pointed out to Ann that the courthouse looked like the one in Hill Valley in Back to the Future. There was no sign of Doc carrying out weather experiments. Carried on driving south. It was very flat. Listened to K-Mullet radio. Not much more to report on the drive other than we completed it. Arrived in Beavercreek, Dayton, Ohio. This place is just down the road from our hotel.

Crazy name!

Checked in.

Decided to eat yesterday's leftover pizza for tea. Bought some extras from Walmart to go with it. Had a Hershey's dessert. Tasted very much like a 'Birds Eye Lovely' dessert from the 1970/80s. Watched 'Waiting for God' whilst we ate. Thought it was very strange for it to be on American TV.

Ann is now watching Downton Abbey. Bates has just been sentenced to death and Isis is missing.
