Well, I was looking at the old school bus I had just bought, thinking of the new adventures that would start now. I sold my house and car and I am going to travel the US and visit each state. There will be enough money for a long time and when I run out and still want to travel, I will wait tables or some such job. I want to meet new people and pick up friends along the way.

I was surprised to see Candie and Guggerty there,too. They wanted to join me right from the beginning of the trip. They had saved all they could to fly to Luv's.

Now to decide where to go to next. After being up late talking and laughing with one another, we fell asleep. When we got up the next morning, we got out the map and planned it out. The first place to go from there would be to visit......... Life may not be the party we hoped for..but while we are here, we might as well dance.

The natural spring was beautiful and we wanted to spend the entire day swimming, talking, laughing and best of all eating.

wonderful chocolate, divine chocolate, all chocolate. The officials thought we were some very crazy women and decided to let us go on our way. Spar had chocolate in every crack (know what i mean) and needed to find a shower fast.

it was a nice place to stop for a bite to eat... oh, and some drinks! Spar still felt kind of funky, from having all that chocolate all over her. Luv ordered a round of margaritas for all of them, and Harley drank three down in a row, without stopping! Only, she will only drink either strawberry margaritas or mango margaritas! So when the girls ordered a pitcher, she said "count me out." She kept ordering more of those Mango-ritas, they are so good!!! |
