As we checked in last night, Dalton announced that his mother Veronica would like to meet us before we left in the morning. Mrs. Dominic was in charge of the Lodge and the banquet hall. She had quit her job as a nurse ten years ago to work in the hospitality business. Maybe she had been a good nurse but it looked like she was an even better Lodging Director. Veronica beamed with energy and motivation when she told that the Lodge hosts 75 weddings a year and I especially liked the personal touch which had been added to the lodge rooms and the reception area. We were taken good care of with fresh omelettes and a latte from the small café and hope to be back and play a round some day.
Arla Foods Ingredients in New Jersey
Our first goal for the day was to reach the office of Arla Foods Ingredients before labor day week-end. We called from Easton and predicted an ETA for a late lunch or afternoon cake. And was there a memorable reception? Already in the parking lot there were American and Danish flags all over and in the office there was a cake with a map of our tour and the states we have been through. I have never exercised so much effort to come to the office, and it felt like coming home, so thank you to my lovable colleagues for making an event out of our arrival to New Jersey.
Tennis is for losers?
We have become quite excited about a young American tennis phenomenon, Coco Gauff, who plays the US Open. We asked Joyce’s granddaughter (with crutches on the picture above) whether she followed her, just to be told that Tennis is for losers. We did not dare to ask where the beautiful art of bicycling ranks in our youngest generation’s perception of what is hot and what is not.
Summit
We have been to a lot of topographical summits, so it is suitable that our last town before New York is called Summit. We went 15 miles from the office and have 30 miles left to George Washington Bridge in Fort Lee. We expect that there is a sidewalk or path for bicycles where we are able to walk or ride our bikes across.

What a welcoming at Arla Food Ingredients, NJ. It must have been very emotional and so close to your final distance in New York.

Hej Pia, jeg holder lige en pause og koncentrerer mig lidt om arbejdet. Måske det næste skal være at lære italiensk?
