November 13, 2016. Hutto, Texas. On The Road Again.

What would we do without friends?  Friend Suzanne R.from Bethesda, Maryland flew today from Baltimore to San Antonio, just to help us drive home to Mississippi.   We all had lunch with David and Suzanne and the girls, breakfast tacos, then we got into our new vehicle and headed east.  David told us a simple way to get out of the city which we followed to a T.  Ken drove for an hour just to get us out of town and to show Suzanne the gadgets.  Form then on, Suzanne was at the helm.

Our hours to drive each day will be limited by our legs.  Sitting is death on Neuropothy legs  Today Ken and I decided to stop at Hutto which meant we would drive for two hours.  This was a smart move.  After checking in at 4:00 and having a brief rest, Suzanne and I took a much needed walk.  Our motel is lovely.  Holiday Inn Express.

This is the third time that Suzanne has driven us.  We have a good time.   One thing we always do is to find a good restaurant which we did tonight.  The manager of the motel who is from Australia directed us to The Rio Grande, just across the shopping mall.  I have eaten Tex Mex food hundreds of time but tonight 's dinner was the best.

A normal person would be home tomorrow as we have just over 8 hours to drive.   Our plan is to drive 5 or 6 hours and stay overnight, then finish the drive on Tuesday.   So far, all is well.  And we are also having a good time too.  Friends are wonderful.
