2 hours after we left Dayton, OH, we arrived in Gallia County in Ohio, and enjoyed a nice breakfast at the original Bob Evans farm. Yum! We walked around a bit, and Arlo told me about his many childhood visits and how things have changed. Afterward, we visited his hometown, Gallipolis, OH. The town has a colonial, french feel to it, and was very interesting to walk around. The history of towns and buildings interests me to no end. I loved hearing which buildings used to be home to local theaters and ice cream shops. And how he got kicked out of this place for being a little punk, or how he and his friends did this and that there for fun. I heard stories of time capsules, biking around town, and land marks for many firsts. We walked by his old home, and found his hand prints and name that had been imprinted and scraped into the sidewalk many years ago. Many things had changed, but many were still the same. So fascinating!
We spent the rest of the day making our way back to Easton. About two hours before our arrival, we stopped for some slices of glorious, dearly missed East Coast pizza. That totally hit the spot! We got back around 10pm, and were very happy to be off the road.
Home Sweet Home!
