Each day on the road has been pretty long. We have been leaving about 7:30 AM and stopping around 5:00. We haven't stopped earlier due to the heat. There would be nothing to do all PM except sit in the air-conditioned Airstream. So, we have just kept driving. Since we are mostly off the interstates, the driving hasn't been too stressful.
We did get lost again today. This time, we had no excuse as we have a Texas map. Our turnoff was a bit unclear so we got off the main road too soon, and ended up in the middle of a country lane. George had to do a 3-point u-turn while I stood on the road to guide him and to watch for traffic (none).
Without electricity, we haven't spent much on food. Today's lunch picnic was a tuna sandwich (no mayo or mustard) - just tuna, hot sauce and bread!
We drove by lots of cattle farms, seeing different types of cows including Texas Longhorns.
In all of the South, we continue to be amazed and saddened by the "haves and have-nots". We see huge mansions with fancy entrance gates, then a few miles later, some terrible poor shacks and trailers.
We will probably get to Mission by Sunday evening, although we won't be able to get into our new house until Tuesday, when our walk-through with the builder is scheduled. We'll just stay in the Airstream until then. I will probably spend the entire day Monday in the air-conditioned clubhouse and/or the swimming pool!
DINNER: Even without a refrigerator. I think this was a success......Spaghetti with artichoke hearts, peas, and leftover shrimp. I made the sauce with the oil from the artichoke hearts and some cream cheese.
