First Long Drive in USA

As you may know; I have got my Maryland driving license... I have made sure that every one knows that... :) Last friday i got the license in hand; though my photo is not looking good in the license that was a pretty good asset i have got in USA.

So on Saturday i went to the car rental hoping that i will get some thing less than a Ford Mustang.. but finally ended up on a Kia Rondo. It looked funny, reminded me of my Hamy. :) We started around noon, it was a 210 mile journey. We had fun out there; the photo in this blog is a view of the Pitts downtown from Mount George. It is beautiful from there. Next day we went to one coat factory to get prepared for the winter. I took a jacket for 160$ which was on the costly side. But it will keep you warm even in Antarctica i guess. :) Now i am left with glove and a monkey cap; then i will be ready for the freezing cold of winter.

One the way back i have just tried for 100mile/hour speed, it was awesome. If some cop had caught me my license would have been suspended since the speed limit on the interstate was 65. 100mile is 160km/hour. And its the maximum speed you can drive in east if there is no cop, above that by the time you reach the speed some one would catch you. In west coast they have raised the speed limit to 80miles/hour in some interstates. So i have celebrated my license with a 500mile journey :P it was a good experience and motivation for some more long journeys i am planning...
