Looked like there was 10,000 people standin' round the buryin' ground

Well tonight's location is a little less like being in an episode of the Sopranos. We are now in Rochester, NY (apparently actually Henrietta - a bit like saying you are in London but actually in New Southgate). And a lovely drive we had to get here too.

Came up through a bit of the Appalachians (but not the really wild and woolly bit of it though). Very impressive. Yet more fall colours - will it never end? Had a bit of a diversion round one of the Finger Lakes which was all very perhriddy.

We have just been out for that quintessentially of English dinners, a curry. If you ever find yourself in Rochester (well, Henrietta) I can thoroughly recommend the Haveli - best parathas outside India (its something that Indian restaurants in the UK don't seem to be able to do).

There is one thing that we are going to have sort out with all this driving - music. The radio can be good, I mean how can you go wrong with a classic rock station (ok, many ways. If I hear Ho-bloody-tel-arseing-Cali-sodding-fornia one more time, I won't be responsible for my actions). But the problem with the radio is that its all local so you get something for 40 or 50 miles then you have to find a new station. We could either a) get a Sirius HD radio for the car. Upside, good stations (a station that just plays 24 hour a day Broooce- whats not to like? And who wouldn't want Neil Diamond radio? No seriously there are good stations) and its  nationwide. Downside - you have to subscribe. Or b) just sort the ipod out for the car.
