Welcome to Ohio

I'm spending two nights in Cleveland, OH. It was about a 4-hour drive from State College to here. Interstate 80 has a lot of truck traffic. The speed limit was 70 on some of the stretches. The cheapest gas I've seen so far is here in Ohio: $3.50 a gallon....!!!.





On Friday night I checked out Happy Dog, a local bar with live music. The Polka Happy Hour was covered by DJ Kishka, who was really hilarious:

Second stop: The University of Pennsylvania, State College PA

On Monday April 23 2012 I drove 45 minutes to State College. I stayed there until Friday.

I visited the university campus, including the Palmer Museum of Art and the famous Berkey Creamery.




They have great bars on College St. I went to Pickle's to watch the Champion's League game:


On Wednesday I checked out Indigo Night Club. The drinks there were sooo cheap and good. Cover at Indigo was $4, coat check $1, and I got a Grey Goose and Coke for $4!

On my last night, Thursday, I went to Zeno's Bub, which had some of the best and most varied beers I've ever tried. I had their Otto’s Apricot Wheat, Tröegs Scratch # 61 – Imperial Stout, and the Lindemans Lambic Framboise, all very different, but all highly recommended.


Departure, First Stop: Lock Haven, PA

I started in Stamford CT on Sunday April 22 2012. I drove 4 hours on the first day to Lock Haven, PA, where I stayed for one night.




 I visited the Lock Haven University campus and worked out at the REC center where they have an indoor running track.

It actually snowed here on that day. Gas prices in CT: $4.30, PA: $3.90.
