We traveled about 68 miles to get to Pascagoula, MS. We traveled over a lot of country roads and through state pine forests. One of the sections that we passed had a sign warning of Smoke Ahead. It looked as if they had just finished a controlled burn in part of a forest, probably getting ready for logging. Some of the spots were still smouldering and there was sweet smell in the air.
Standard breakfasts at the hotels we are staying at are starting to get boring. There seems to be a lot of pastry, bread, and biscuits. At least today, they had some fresh fruit that was pretty good and our cook brought in some hard boiled eggs so we would have a little bit of protein for our ride. Today I was very hungry early on so I ate my cashews, craisins, and power bar early. Every once in a while, I'll take a bite of my 1/2 peanut butter and jelly sandwich too.
I usually have a pretty big plate of food at supper. Last night we had beef, with lentils, rice, salad and chocolates for dessert. Of course we had our standard margarita for crossing another state border yesterday. Two more states is all we have left, Alabama and Florida. Lately during the day we have not been near any places that serve lunches so for a bathroom break, we usually find a gas station. I always look for chocolate milk for a quick pick me up.
On the way in I couldn't help but notice a flashing sign at Walgreen's warning people of a flood warning that is in effect until tomorrow night. We managed to skirt around the rain clouds that were about all day and got our complete ride in. I'm not sure what will happen with tomorrow's ride. One day at a time...
Looking forward to a day off at a beach resort in Alabama. Here's hoping the bad weather goes by us quickly!
Love to all,
Robin

You know, Robin, you're a woman after my own heart. I love the food blogs. My foodie side loves hearing about what you guys eat in different states. I'm going to be a little bit lost when you come home , and I can't follow your blog. But don't keep biking across the country just for me. :~)
ReplyDeletePatti,
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking I want to photograph all the food that I eat in one day to document it like one of my fellow travelers did. There is no way that I'll ever be able to eat anything like this again AND I can even salt my food in this warm weather. Glad you like the food part...sometimes I forget to put it in.
