On the road again!

On the road again…….this time just the two of us…….towards Holly Springs, North Carolina with a long stop in Nacodoches, Texas for some spa time for the motorcoach at its birthplace. Tonight we’ll stay in Tucson…..where it is expected to be 94 and sunny. In the meantime we have the "Today" show on tv (driver Dave listening/ passenger Kay watching) ,followed by “Regis and Kelly”, followed by “The View”, followed by Ken Burns’ “War” which we taped last night. All this interspersed with custom-made cd’s of country music from Tiff and Jeff. Driver Dave has a yogurt smoothie while passenger Kay has a cup of tea as she sits with her feet up in the comfy seat knitting a sweater for one little grandchild and watching the scenery. Already we have gone from the palm trees and windmills in Palm Springs to the saguara cactus in Phoenix.

After arriving at Beaudry’s RV Resort in Tucson, we found our way to the Saguara National Park and took beautiful sunset pictures. The number of saguaro is remarkable. Then off to El Charro, a great Mexican restaurant recommended in our new book “Road Food” for delicious margaritas and the best tamales we have ever had. All this followed by a yummy dessert of flan on top of rich chocolate cake and a side of vanilla bean ice cream….sprinkled with churro strips and drizzled with chocolate. Yes, indeed, it was scrumptious.

Tomorrow is another day and we are off to Carlsbad, MN and the caverns.
