Our day off yesterday seem to zip right by. I did manage to walk a few miles to the post office with my roommate and then we ate at a local cafe. They are into their meat and sides down here. I also got some photographs developed, worked on my scrapbook, started planning for a talent show, went out to a Sizzler-like place for dinner.
Today the day was overcast and gray for most of the day and there a lot of buzz going around about bringing rain gear because the van was in the shop and only the Subaru car(aka Little Po Peep) would be available. It was all much to do about nothing. It was humid, and warm, and we hit a few sprinkles but that was about it.
Today we went through a SAM Houston State Park which had a lot of tall, straight pine trees for miles and miles. Homes were smaller and poorer than we saw yesterday but people had some beautiful horses in their yards or small pastures. We saw several colts, only a few days old at the most, all legs and staying close to Mama.
Chef Linda went shopping at Sam's Club recently so we had some new snacks to munch on during the day. We are like locusts swarming in to see what there is to eat! Our breakfast at the hotel wasn't too filling and had very little protein so I think we were all very hungry for most of the morning. Chris, there were peanut butter filled pretzels, our favorite, as well as fig newtons and other cookies.
All in all we rode about 73 miles today. We have a 64, 72, 83, and 86 mile days coming up before our next break in Louisiana.
Cheers,
Robin
