No Vacancy

So, our first day in travel mode has ended us up in Mississippi. We started our day off with a wonderful going away breakfast from the wonderful women of the household, Celesta and Joy, that Heather and I have been staying with for the past week. We dropped Heather's car off at her dad's shop, and scored an extra bag of zip ties! Then we went to Tallahassee (aka Talla-classy or Talla-nasty!) where we viewed zombie ducks, domestic violence in the streets, and had Soul Veg (wonderful vegan cusine). Then as we drove on, we had decided earlier in the day that it would be smart to stay about an hour outside of New Orleans and get there in the morning, but due to the oil crisis, no vacancy for us spread from Alabama until somewhere in Mississippi where we got lucky. Kinda.

At a gas station, I had to demand the clerks to take my money so I could pump gas as they argued over who closes their till first. In Florida there is something called Mayhaw jelly (?) There are 700 workers in between the hotel we are staying and the one next door (to clean up oil). We have free hot breakfast in the morning. We better have free HOT breakfast, damnit!

I am quite exhausted, so I'm going to shower and go to bed. Tomorrow morning we are off to New Orleans and we'll be checking into the Queen Anne. As long as there is a vacancy!
