Day 10, Rest day in Christiansburg.

Me and Paula just before her drive back home.

Lisa in her Rasta mood.

The two clowns from Hawaii. They aren't twins.

I just needed to get rid of some film. Just kidding. Lisa and Paula entering the mall. We were looking for food.


Aloha on this cool, crisp, windless morning. We are at the Supper 8 Motel for a couple of days. We took the day off for a number of reasons. First of all to hang out with Paula who drove over 4 hours to see us. Second, we were out of clean cloths, and third, we needed wifi service to catch up on e-mail and our blogs. Besides, we didn't want to deal with the unusually cold nights we've been having. Even the locals told us this was very unusual. I think we made a good choice. Lisa found a coupon book that gave us a special rate of $58.00 for three people a night. This is not the fanciest place in the world, but can't be beat for the price.

We met up with Chuck and Mat again this morning in the lobby. We were having breakfast, and they were just getting ready to head out for the day. They are planning a 70 mile day. If not for pulling the trailers, we could do a few more mile ourselves. But we think we are enjoying our adventure as much as anyone.

The three of us spent the day just driving around checking out to area. We had lunch at Taco Bell (I insisted), then went to go see a really intense movie called "Angels and Demons". I haven't gone to a movie in quite a while, so I was engulfed by everything. Later in the evening we had dinner at a great Mexican place. The food was even better than Taco Bell.

Paula is leaving first thin in the morning. She works a 11:00AM, and has a 4 hour drive in front of her. Thank you so much Paula for coming all the way up here to see us. It was great seeing you again. And for our age, we don't look that bad at all. Be safe on your drive home, and May God Watch over you and yo9u family.

Tomorrow we head out, destination unknown yet. We doubt it will be a high mileage day because of all the hills. We'll just have to take it by ear. Also, not sure when we will get internet again, so it might be a few days till the nest update. Thank you for following, Aloha, Ted.
