Today was a rest day, just relaxing and getting organized. Had a nice breakfast here at the hotel, and walked across the street to Wal-Mart to buy some stuff.......and get a haircut! My first one since mid-August, so that feels and looks much better. Came back to the room to work on the blog for a while, washed some clothes, and then headed out to mail a package at the post office.
The State farm office is along the way, so I stopped in to thank them for delivering the package. They also gave me a t-shirt, a gift certificate for a local grill, and some chocolate. Must be something to that "like a good neighbor" slogan used by State Farm. (That's Jordan and Melissa in the picture.....after finding out I was from Virginia, they had to show me there's some good bluegrass music in NM. Is Melissa holding that banjo upside down? Maybe they do it that way out here!)
On the way back to the hotel, I stopped by Saturday's Grill for lunch. It's a 50's style place with great decor, food, and service. Back to the hotel for more work on the blog, TV, rest, and packing. I'll set out early tomorrow, heading for Seminole, TX. So far the trip has covered approx. 1030 miles, or about 36% of the total miles. I've followed pretty much the planned route, and don't see any significant changes for the remainder of the trip. I had planned to go through Charleston, SC for Alan's benefit, but since he is no longer here, might alter the route a little when I get to SC. My health remains good, and the weather has been favorable for most of the trip.....hope that continues.
Hope all is going well with each of you, and hope that you'll continue to follow the trip. Take care......Jeff.
