Day Five - Mt. Pleasant, TX

A more relaxing day today. The trip to Mt. Pleasant from Memphis took about six hours. Traffic was incredibly light and the day beautiful so we made good time. We stopped for lunch in Hope, AK ... kept an eye open for Bill Clinton to walk into the KFC. He didn't show. :)

When we arrived in Mt. Pleasant I phoned my friend Michael and he came to the hotel. We sat around the pool about two hours talking then went to dinner. After getting back to the hotel we all sat beside the pool again watching the bird activity. Different species than in Virginia ... AND ... I saw my first bald headed eagle in the wild!!! Wouldn't you know the camera was in our room though so, no pictures, just memories.

A nice break in the hectic schedule we've had the past few days.

Heading to Dallas, TX tomorrow to visit my cousin Michael and family. We may take their high speed train system to downtown Dallas and visit the site of JFK's assassination. Depends on whether we're up to it. Another slow day might be nice. Michael said his wife Tina has fixed homemade salsa for some
frititas (sp?) tomorrow night. Looking forward to seeing them. Since we won't be at a hotel tomorrow night I doubt I'll be able to post here. Tomorrow Dallas, then on to Oklahoma City.
