Was wonderful to get out of the Super 8…again nothing super about it, but I did get a good nights sleep. Thank God for gummies. The goal today was to get to Port Arthur, TX.
The first place I stopped for gas ($3.29 gal) was about an hour out. While I was getting gas I saw a paramedic unit close by. I asked them for a good place for breakfast…they said without hesitation, “7-11, that’s where we are headed right now. They make fresh tacos”. Apparently everything else in town was closed…no tacos for breakfast for me!
I continued on to College Station, home of Texas A&M (the Aggies).
I ended up at a place across from campus…Red’s something or other. It was dead inside due to spring break, so I had the attention of three wonderful waitresses who were wonderful at answering questions. The will be a place I consider. It is beautiful and not too crowded (around 70K population).
I know there are those of you who will appreciate the fact that spring is here as evidenced by the wildflowers on the sides of the road.
There were blues, purples, orange, pink, white and yellows in abundance. Don’t worry folks…spring will be with us all soon!
As I cruised along I saw what could only be a tent revival off the sides of the road.
I felt the need for a little spiritual uplifting so went it. What a great deal…all the menfolk were in cowboy hats and boots…including the Pastor, Dan. Yeah, me in shorts, HD shirt and tennis shoes was a bit outta place but no one batted an eye. I heard an actual sermon the likes of which I haven’t had in years! Like I said, I’ll be coming back to this stretch of Texas.
Made it to Port Arthur with no further things to comment on. Was a wonderful day on the road.
