Marvelous Minerva Rides Again-North Carolina through South Carolina

What a scenic area the Carolina's are…especially the Cape Hatteras beaches where the Wright Brothers spend years getting the first gliders and airplanes to fly with the great windy breezes to help them! I fly down the road on a motorcycle, but maybe my momma will take me flying in an airplane one of these days. I'm a very adventuresome cat!

Today, I got to see Myrtle Beach and the Charleston, SC waterfront. This town of Charleston was a little busy and a little noisy for me, but it was still very pretty. My Momma stopped for "Pralines" in the Sweet Shop downtown. She had one for dinner tonight. I had my cat foot that I really like. We were both happy.

A Century in Flight-Kitty Hawk, NC

Hilton Head tomorrow, and then Savannah! I'm the luckiest cat in the world. And the temperatures are now in the 80's! My Momma gives me water to drink in my bowl inside my cage, so I don't get too thirsty. But when she hits a bump, I DO GET WET! But it feels kind of good anyway, when the wind vents cool me down! Ahhhhhhh.

Minerva the Marvelous Traveling Cat-on a Harley

What a fun trip this has been. Taking a big ferry from Woods Hole on Cape Cod over to Martha's Vineyard was exciting…and then leaving Massachusetts to ride through Connecticut and into Pennsylvania to eat chocolate and go see the Harley Davidson Factory where my Momma's trike was built, and then through riding through W. Virginia to Virginia. What a great couple of days I have had. My Momma has always wanted to see Walden's Pond, and she got to see it! I guess I'll let the pictures do the talking!

What a great week it has been! My momma loves to travel, and I love to go anywhere she goes! I couldn't believe how huge the Niagara Falls are! I got a little wet, but I like water. Sometimes I hop into the shower when my momma is finished showering, and I roll around the the leftover water.
I got to see my very first rainbow, close up, and now I've seen a few more. It rained a little bit, but my momma keeps my cage covered in rain gear, so I'm cozy on my lambswool sleeping pad as we rip down the road on our travels.

I got to take a ferry ride, and lots of people came to talk to me during the crossing from New York to Vermont. In Vermont, I got to meet an old friend of my momma's named Margaret. She said she likes cats as she petted me. The trees are beautiful and the days are sunny and warm even though it is October. New Hampshire came and went pretty fast, so I was probably napping.

And now we are in Maine! I love Maine. Acadia National Park was my favorite so far! Winding roads, traveling along very slowly, stopping often to look at the beautiful scenery. I loved Maine. My friend, George, asked me to try some lobster in Bar Harbor, but I didn't like it.
