Jersey City to Seattle Roadtrip
Day 1 – Sunday, October 1

The first day we had no planned excursions so we decided to cover maximum distance possible and drove through New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and part of Indiana. We stopped for the night in Elkhart, IN. From Cleveland, OH on we traveled on interstate Rt. 90 which would take us all the way to Seattle, WA. For excursions along the way we would exit off the highway and travel on local roads but afterwards we would always find our way back to Rt. 90. And it is exactly along those local roads that we were able to see magnificent change of scenery, both in geographic and cultural terms. Experiences like these always remind me that although to those from far away Americans might appear to be “like this” or “like that” one need look just a little closer to catch a glimpse of various cultural, ethnic, religious, and social groups that make up the mosaic that is the United States of America.
