Ok, already screwed up my titling and days. This is the fourth day of my trip, so I’m doing a title correction.

Woke up to rain. It’s cold outside. Got a Lyft to the train station. No breakfast, sure hope the bus stops somewhere. If not, I could stand to lose some weight.

Talked to a young lady on her way back to New Orleans. She flew once and the landing gear broke on landing. So now she just does the train. She’s 81 years old and doesn’t look a day over 60. Credits God.

I’m on the bus. Bus 3019. Just did something I should have done earlier. Checked online to see if the bus stops along the route. It does not. Looks like I’ll be hungry when I get to New Orleans. good news, they passed out water bottles and a small snack pack. Life is good.

And we’re off.

The first movie was Hancock., second was Ghost Rider,

Stopped at 5 Guys for lunch near Tuscaloosa. The Amtrak people told me the bus always stops for lunch. Good to know the internet is wrong again.

Got to New Orleans about 5:00. Very warm. Walked to my hotel, very nice. Went out to Deidre for dinner, gumbo, shrimp and bread pudding. Then did a little walk down Bourbon St.

Time for bed, I’m tired. Got a boat ride tomorrow and a jazz brunch on Thursday. I’m going to have to go on a diet after this trip.
