Isn't there something about being changed when we take to the road?

Makes me wonder how other disaster areas are a few years down the road after the country's attention moves on.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-74198593677096614662010-08-14T17:06:54.105-05:002010-08-14T17:06:54.105-05:00It does sound like you are having a great time.

I'm sure the rain gear working helped on that score.<br /><br />It is sad to think of all the calamities the area you are riding through has faced over the last five years and will continue to face. It is difficult for me to wrap my mind around all that upheaval of peoples lives.<br /><br />~KeithKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-23550980156317836462010-08-14T10:32:53.958-05:002010-08-14T10:32:53.958-05:00Eve: Yea, a sign would have been nice.

The lady running the Venice Inn was not friendly at all. Was it friday the 13th? We are so off on our days and dates. LOL. Good vacation I guess since we totally lost track of time. :) <br /><br />Time to go get wet!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-53345541883708503712010-08-14T05:52:51.578-05:002010-08-14T05:52:51.578-05:00It's too bad about the disappointments Chris, ...It's too bad about the disappointments Chris, but hopefully the weather will calm down. That storm yesterday was a bit of a tropical depression, I could see a little bit of a swirl going on. Looks like so far today there is good sailing ahead. I HATE being kept up all night by people in hotels. When my daughter and I went to NYC with friends a few years ago, we were kept up by unsupervised kids until the wee hours of the morning. It was insane. I wish my husband was there, he would have ended that. I called the desk and they said they would check but didn't. In the end I got a 30% discount on my charge. Next time that happens let them know, I'm sure they would rather give you a discount than deal with a bunch of drucken A-holes. Now that Friday the 13th is over maybe thing will turn and you'll have the perfect riding day! <br />Ride Safe!Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06554593974838511759noreply@blogger.com
