Today I came out of the North-—from Olean, Alegany and Seneca Nation in Western New York State, to skirting the Lake Eerie shoreline across the Pennsylvania panhandle, and then dropping down through Ohio, “the heart of it all.”
The ❤️ of it all was very welcoming.Remnants of fall foliage at the I-90 Ohio Welcome Center (home of the Eric Carle “Very Hungry Caterpillar ” interpretive walk, which I have posted about in past years.)Pit stop photo op.

Just across the Ohio border into Indiana, we took our exit and arrived in Richmond. I love staying here because 1) the extended Indian family who runs the hotel is super sweet, and 2) five minutes down the road is Gulzar’s, an amazing Indian restaurant!
Some of you may know I spent a year in India in my 20s, and I’ll tell you one thing: I never got tired of the food. Love it!Punjabi cuisine is the specialty at Gulzar’s. (Think tandoori, naan, tikka masala….)I got samosa chaat (an appetizer), garlic naan, and my favorite: saag paneer.So delicious!
Don’t worry—Timi and Clyde had a nice meal, too, each with their own special food.
Thankful, tired, satisfied and content, we all settled in for a cozy night.
