Tomorrow, after driving for four hours, we should arrive at our destination of Jackson, Mississippi. We left at 9:30 this morning and drove all day, finally stopping at 4:00. The drive south was pleasant. Yesterday, for the first time, grits was served for breakfast. And today, the temperature kept going up.
For some reason, you get weary when you drive, and arrive very tired, so last evening we were not inclined to dine out. Instead we ordered pizza and a Greek salad delivered to our room. We enjoyed it, and seemed like a bit of a picnic while we ate and watched the US Open. There were even four pieces left over for dinner tonight.
At noon we snacked in the car. And we talked. This afternoon, we listened to college football games, but the most interesting hour was an interview with a country musician, on the Doghouse station on Satellite Radio. It was a fascinating discussion of his career. His name is John something or other and at the peak of his career, singing and writing songs and performing, he lost his voice. Must have been difficult.
Our drive south has included a combination of charm and boredom, just like almost everything else in life. But in total, we love seeing the countryside. This is a beautiful country.
