Welcome to Breakfast in America
I’m a Brit who unexpectedly emigrated to the USA in 2008, and this is my photo journal.
It’s an eclectic mix of things; there’s no guiding theme or topic. It is whatever catches my attention, what I’ve been thinking, doing, or piques my interest. Currently that’s mainly backpacking and clearing some of the backlog on my ‘honey-do’ list.

Raymond Pool from the Raymond Observation Tower. Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, Delaware. Road trip, November ’24.
We plan to head down the Delaware and Maryland coast, cut across Virginia, and visit North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and hence back home to Missouri. We’ve no idea how long that’ll take, but I have a dental appointment on November 27. So, we’ll be back before then!

Beaver Moon. Road trip, November ’24. Copyright © 2024 Gary Allman, all rights reserved. After three days traveling followed by a very busy four days, we were ready to just crash. We stopped for three days in a hotel on the outskirts of Philadelphia to regroup and make some outline plans for our route home.
During our stay I spotted this picture of the Beaver Moon from our hotel room.
Day Twelve
We drove to Doylestown, Pennsylvania, and visited the Mercer Museum. After spending several hours there, we set off toward Delaware, stopping for the night in New Castle.

On the road again
Nice view spoiled by the hotel buildings. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Road trip, November ’24. Copyright © 2024 Gary Allman, all rights reserved. We’re off on our travels again. This time, it is to a four-day business event in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Following this, we will take a slow, as yet undecided, route home.
Day One
Our trip started with a diversion as the I-44 was closed due to flooding. We managed to find a quiet detour with almost no traffic on it. Crossing the Gasconade river was interesting, as the river was almost up to the bridge deck (I should have stopped and taken some pictures). Once back on the I-44 it was an easy (but long) drive to Indianapolis.
Day Two
We drove from Indianapolis to our hotel on the outskirts of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Day Three
Today we are going to tour some museums, and tomorrow we head off to Lancaster, and the event.

A change of plan
A change of plan — Here I am enjoying the sunset and beer on the deck at the cottage. Copyright © 2024 Gary Allman, all rights reserved. We were staying at the cottage this past weekend, so I wasn’t expecting to be returning here anytime soon. But Jim needed some tests done in Springfield (all okay) and wouldn’t be able to drive home. I volunteered to drive, and now here I am!
I’ll drive them back to Springfield tomorrow for another appointment, and they’ll be able to get themselves home from there.
