Roaming the Southeast

Howdy all y'all from Texas! I have decided to try my hand at blogging, so we shall see how this goes. I arrived at the IOC (International Operations Center) for Mercy Ships, located in Garden Valley, TX, Monday. As some of y'all already know, I was able to meet up with three other fine young ladies that I had met on the ship earlier this year. We had a very relaxing, exciting and fun journey through some of the southeastern states.

A brief synopsis of our trip goes like this: leave from my home town of Clinton, NC, stop to check out some cotton in the field; stop by the South of the Border and go up in Pedro's sombrero; stop by a bowling alley in goergia to meet Alainie's friend and get the key to the friend's parent's house where we would stay that night; get up the next morning (Saturday) and go to the local Waffle House; stop in Montgomery, AL to tour the church where Martin Luther King, Jr was pastor, and the Rosa Parks Museum; stop in Biloxi, MS and camp in an RV park that ended up being about 100 yds from some railroad tracks (we now know that four trains come through each night); continue to New Orleans, LA, and go to the French Quarter where we get caught in a torrential downpour; then drive up towards Alexandria, LA and try to find the Kisatchie National Forrest, drive around for an hour without success, so we take an exit that said 'camping at Lake Cotile', which, it turns out, was in the Kisatchie National forest; get up Monday morning and finish driving to the IOC.

Well, that's all folks! (for now)
I'll try and get some pics up soon.
