Road trip No.1 - Day 4 - No new countries, No new States or Provinces BUT 1 new Hurricane glass (Baltimore)

Toronto (ON) - Westfield (PA) - Baltimore (MD) - Home (DC)

Day 4 we left Toronto early as we were expecting queues on the border getting back into the U.S. The weather was awful on the Canadian side, which did not really help either. However, crossing the bridge at Buffalo the sun came out and there were only 4 cars in-front of us at the border. No problem at all getting through a very painless process compared to Dulles Airport in Washington.
We drove on in search for breakfast. The problem with driving across rural areas is that there is limited choice. Neither of us were happy with the food at the small place we found, but at lease it filled a gap whils continuing our drive.
The next stop was Westfield (PA) where one of my friends spent a year as an exchange student in high-school. A very sleepy little town, but well worth the 30-minute detour.
A few more hours of driving south took us to a decent diner for dinner, before heading on home. Alastair found out that the route would take us within a 7-min detour of Hard Rock Cafe in Baltimore, so suggested we stop there as well. Baltimore felt a little bit rough in the dark so we parked nearby, and made it a quick stop.
Home around 10 PM after a just over 500-mile drive for the day!
