We’ve been back in the US for nine nights but we are finally home; a night in Salt at the very hospitable Duck Creek Campground just east of Paducah, Kentucky. The rain is coming down in waves and we are enjoying a gin and driving day chips in our full hook-up spot a mere thirty yards from the fully fenced, large, grassy dog area. (Those of you who have been reading through Europe know the importance of every word in that last sentence!)
We picked up Salt & Pepper from the docks in
Jacksonville, Florida on Thursday morning and took them immediately to Camping
World for Salt’s new LP tanks (we had to leave the others behind before
shipping from Belgium.) Friday we drove to Savannah for a delightful night with
some dear, but don’t call them old, friends.
That night was the first time we had spent the night in a house in over
fifteen months. Yes, there was the Paris
apartment, but nothing compares to the solidity of a house; it was heavenly. (Not to mention the Seabass roasted in
banana leaves and chocolate bread pudding with German chocolate drizzle. C'mon Man!)
Becoming friends with people from all over America is one
of the greatest benefits of our previous careers; after that wonderful night on
Skidaway Island we were treated to another divinely home-cooked meal and night’s
rest suffused by southern hospitality with friends in Atlanta. Don’t get me started on the Butterfinger
pie—lord I need some time to get some exercise!
The Noses especially loved this stop as they were provided with a
fully-fenced back yard. Complete with
Teasing Squirrels.
Now we are headed to Colorado almost as fast as Pepper
can pull us all. We will have two nights
in St. Louis allowing one day for me to fly to Boston and back for a job
interview. After that it is Colorado,
Baby!
