Syracuse and Back

I went to Syracuse this weekend to watch a cousin become a Bar Mitzvah. To go there and back, I took Interstate 81 straight up. It made it very difficult to get lost, because I just had to get on Interstate 81 and keep driving. And driving. I traversed nearly all of Pennsylvania. The drive between the intersection with I-78 and the New York border is pretty scenic. There were some wicked high cliffs along the way where the road had been blasted through rock. I felt like I was in the Lord of the Rings during the scene where they go on the boat through the Pillars of the Kings. The Bar Mitzvah itself was nice. Since I only see these family members once or twice a year, it was nice to see them.
