I must have had one of the deepest nights of slumber on this trip so far. For eleven hours I was pretty much motionless. I think I allowed myself the luxury because I knew the following day was going to be light. When morning arrived we felt no rush. As Crystal prepared breakfast, the scent of grilled onions and mushrooms filled the trailer. The veggies add extra nutrients and flavor to my eggs. I wrapped the protein packed scramble to my tortilla with cheese.

With the extra time on our hands we took care of some trailer maintenance. Living on the road has been messy at times. Also the trailer is best driven without too much water in the tank. I dumped out what is called grey water; it was the waste water that wasn’t sewage...

After watching the evening news, two local gentlemen befriended us. They commended us on what we were doing. Henry and David noticed that Crystal had no beverage and that my apple cider was just about empty. From that moment our cups never ran empty. It was a good thing too, I didn’t have any hydration before the report. We spent the time looking for somewhere that would allow us to watch it. Every few minutes, new people entered the establishment. Somehow the energy was buzzing.

I woke up in the morning with sore muscles. Perhaps it would have been a better idea to have gone to sleep right after the news report but, who goes to bed at 6PM? We had a great time meeting new friends so we had no regrets. My muscles loosened up when my blood began to flow...

My hunger woke me from my sleep. I stumbled downstairs and searched for the breakfast room like a zombie. I was surprised to enter a packed breakfast area. I had no idea Biloxi was such a popular destination. The Oak Manor provided all the usual continental breakfast items and one special item. I poured my milk over some frosted flakes and consumed cereal for my first course. The cereal was followed by eggs, fruit, and yogurt. I wanted to get various nutrients into my body before I started putting away the Krispy Kreme donuts.

The breakfast of plenty did little to eliminate my sluggishness. My body crept back under the soft white sheets in search for rest. I didn’t have much time to rest as Crystal had arranged for an interview with WLOX; the abc affiliate in Biloxi...
