We were up & out at 10am. It was 27 miles to Stroudsberg which we did in roughly 2hrs. But my spirits were low. I resented every last meter of that road because in my mind I should have been resting today. It was tough in that state of mind (one which I will have to really avoid in similar situations in future - (accept it & get on with it has got to be the motto). Found the Motel by 1.30pm and was able to switch off. Ray came in for a while but had to hit the road as he had another 25 miles to go. So we parted. It was tough in a way eventhough it was so short. He was a great fella and I'll keep an eye to his website. Best of Luck Ray.
For the rest of the day I went looking for an internet cafe & food. Turned out it was WiFi only but went up to the local library only to find it was closed, but opened 9am Saturday. Got Food, went back to the room Ate & slept. Decided to stay another Day in Stroudsberg to rest, a half day wasn't enough & get the Blog updated. Was asleep by 11pm.

Hi Francis,
looks like that last few days have been tough going. Keep your chin up and if you start to get down just compare what you are doing now with the thought of having to unload a 40 foot container in standard wet Irish weather.Have been going like the clappers back here lately but had a good chat with your Mom this evening. All is well up in Leitrim. Check your mail. finally sent the long promised snaps of small man and mini diva,
Stay safe
Mike
Wow Fran, sounds really tough but what a journey. The blog is great, you get a real feel for what your doing, I'm wrecked just reading it. Heard the lads you will be meeting up with on Newstalk on Sat theyre flying out today (9th), Newstalk will have regular updates from them. Anyway, I'm off to the biscuit tin to increase my calorie intake. G'luck.
