Rock Bottom

(Posted 18:52:28 on 16th February 2009 by Rag)
Well, thought I'd get a quick blog in before Mr O writes another dissertation on today's events (although he may have already beaten me to it). There's not a lot left to say about yesterday - very disappointing that we didn't get to see the race in its full glory and very disappointed in how poor the facilities were. I thought my gate vaulting days were over, but apparently not. Hmmm.

Anyway, today saw us hit the road in anger. First south to the Kennedy Space Center and then north into Georgia where I find myself now. We've ended up in the middle of nowhere, basically in a truck stop with nothing more than fast food places to each. I have to say, it really is the pits.

Seriously, we were out having a beer, which we had to do in a mexican restaurant as, according to our Inn Keeper it was the only place that served alcohol as the county was dry until recently. There is actually a truck stop right outside the front of our rooms. I said I wasn't going to be able to get much sleep given the noise the trucks make. I was wrong - a train just came by with its horn blaring, so I'm not going to kept awake by the trucks as their noise is being drowned out by the trains.

On another note, you will probably notice that the track is not uploading real time. I'll try and upload it once a day either at night or the following morning depending on time.
