Yesterday we talked about doing the Hop On-Hop Off bus
today but the reality is we are tired. We both had leg cramps in the night (not
enough water yesterday no doubt) and we just want to rest some today. Instead,
we decided to do a little house cleaning. I cleaned the trailer and
John cleaned out and reorganized the Jeep. We needed cooler clothing so this
entailed getting into the cargo carrier, dragging down the suitcase, and
switching out things. Needless to say, we spent 2-3 hours doing these tasks. Now we
are organized again. We ran a short errand into town and got gas and a couple
other things. I fixed a nice lunch of ham and cheese omelet and fresh stir fry veggies. When I
began to use our ancient camp stove, flames kept coming out of the area around the knobs, so
that’s the end of that stove. I don’t mind cooking on the trailer stove, but I
just prefer to cook things outside. We are going to attempt to order one on
Amazon and have it delivered here to the park. Our neighbor John said he could
fix it for us but we told him he could have it! No pictures today. John and
Tony are out right now in search of an armadillo to photograph. So far none of
the pictures have turned out.
Yesterday … I only wrote about the WWII Museum because that
topic deserved to be solely addressed and not discussed along with laundry and
dog grooming! Yesterday Tony did get groomed while we were at the museum. His
hair is cut a bit shorter for this warm weather, plus it is easier to keep him
clean. I took our enormous bag of dirty laundry and worked on that for a couple
hours after we got back from the city. I will do laundry again before we leave here since it is free. I met
some French speaking folks at the beginning of my laundry adventure and a man
from GA at the end. Not much conversation with the French couple, I couldn’t
even recall a friendly phrase in my exhaustion from the day! The man from GA
was very nice and we talked as I folded my dry laundry. Most people are so interesting and nice. He was asking me about
the park and what is here. He said the person who checked them in was “snarky”
and didn’t give them any information. We got 4 pages of printed info along with
a nice map. He will check that all out tomorrow. Meanwhile, back at camp John
and Tony were walking around the campgrounds Tony tried to attack an armadillo!
They are not as fast as Tony and John said he was about 4 inches away from it
when he reached the end of his leash! Then the biggest surprise of the day was when
I returned from doing laundry. To my astonishment there was a plate with two
baked potatoes and some sliced beef fillet waiting. Our neighbors John and
Debbie from NY brought it over to share. It wasn’t a lot but it was delicious.
I was tired and so grateful. I made a salad and we were set for the evening.
