After six days of driving, we’ve racked up 3,400 miles, and tomorrow when we complete 550 more we’ll be in Fort Pierce, Florida – our destination. It took us the first 4 days of travel to get through 5 states (Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona and New Mexico). Today we covered 5 states all in one day: the last of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and the first segment of Florida. States are a lot smaller in this part of the country, except Texas, anyway.
Houston got 5 inches of rain this morning, and we woke to pounding rain on the motel windows last night. But most of the day was gray, cloudy, dry and warm, 70 degrees or higher, and punctuated by multiple stops at Bank of America, Office Depot (twice) and a UPS store to print documents, sign and get them notarized, and Overnight Express them to Florida. We think we’re done with the paperwork now, but it slowed us down by at least 2 hours today.
Tonight we’re in Pensacola, Florida and had Cajun food for dinner at a restaurant where everyone (except us) was there to watch the LSU-Alabama football game. Most of the patrons seemed to be LSU fans. We left after the first quarter, but hope for Cathryn’s Dad’s sake (Alabama alum) that they win, but hope for Cathryn’s nephew’s sake (LSU alum) that they win.
