2025 Late-Summer Road Trip - Day 3-of-35 - August 16, 2025

Saturday, Aug. 16, 2025 - A Great Day getting those miles under my belt. It is Very Nice having an "Art Day" once in a while:

I left the Super 8 a little before 10 AM - writing these blogs TAKES TIME! I grabbed 11 Post Offices on my way down to The Frick Museum Pittsburgh - don't worry, I have emailed The Museum, and YES they have the Monet and Guardi ON-DISPLAY! I got there at noon:

They actually only had 3 (small) galleries open, plus a hallway to offices:

Claude Monet - "Banks of the Seine at Lavacourt", 1879 oil:

Francesco Guardi - "View on the Grand Canal at San Geremia, Venice", 1760-65 oil:

Am I even allowed to show my 0.2-mile walk?

Everyone should visit Paris at least once in their lives:

I'm heading on 22 West, into Ohio:

Nice Rolling Hills:

The CUTEST Post Office in 43983 - Piedmont, OH:

Piedmont Lake is just off Hwy 22:

It is nice to see these signs, and I have seen a buggy a couple of times this trip:

I checked in at the Super 8 Miamisburg, OH at 7:45 PM - 378 miles today (and 36 Post Offices):

I'm thinking maybe I need to upgrade my "hotel experience":

Thank you God for this wonderful Adventure Day!
