Ken drove like a champ today and so did I so we are now in Texas, which always feels good. My goal was to leave at 11:00 and we did pretty well to be driving away at 11:15 with me at the wheel. After a 2 hour drive, we stopped for lunch at a Popeye. Perhaps we were hungry but the food was delicious. Ken started driving at 2:00, intending to drive for 90 minutes but we could not find a place to change drivers so he drove for over 2 hours which was too long. Tomorrow we will do a better job of planning ahead. I drove for another hour before Ken found a motel on his phone and we checked in just after 5:00.
We are staying in a very pleasant Comfort Inn. Our room is spacious. And the hand holds in the shower are plentiful, which for us is essential. Now we always ask when checking in. A couple of times we discovered we could not shower because there was no safe way to hold on. Our priorities have changed.
No restaurants were within walking distance so I ordered Pizza. We could not face getting back into the truck. My bathing suit is still in my backpack, dry as a bone. I went to inspect the pool and hot tub which looked enticing until you looked closely. Neither looked sparklingly clear so I decided to stay clear. Instead I watched a baseball game, Mets against the Pirates. Good game won by Pittsburgh. Now after a good nights sleep we will get back in the truck to see how far we will get tomorrow. So far so good.
