Today was a day of getting from Arlington to Brandon, Mississippi. Nothing particularly interesting or exciting planned, just sitting and going and driving. We did stop a couple of times for "walking around" breaks and lunch.
Several things are unique and (to me) interesting about the bus we are on. It is wired for WiFi and each seat has electronics charging outlets. Very technologically advanced.
We stopped in Monroe, LA for lunch and it was excellent. I only heard one or two complaints and those were about baked potatoes being cold. Of the 35 or so of us, most were very, very satisfied. Nick had a pecan crusted fish fillet and I had a grilled chicken salad.
Our after lunch fuel stop was on the far eastern edge of Louisiana at a Loves truck stop. Ever been to a Loves with a built in casino? This was a first for us.
Drove across the Mississippi river near Vicksburg and I was a little disappointed that it wasn't wider. I guess I was remembering all the times I taught Huck Finn and he had trouble at times seeing across. I realize that the story was set much farther north and more than a century ago, so......it is what it is.
We're in Brandon Mississippi for the night at a La Quinta which is quite adequate, but I'm not getting the Ranger's baseball game on t.v.
At least tomorrow we have a scheduled activity-- a park and museum in Birmingham.
This WiFi in the room is really slow, let's see if this will publish.
