Day 7 Oct. 22, 2009

Where do I begin tonight? Well we started out the day with every intention of a shorter day.
I really thought 60-65 miles would be good and I had mentally prepared myself for that distance. Somehow we ended up with 90 miles yes nine, o, Let me explain why.
It all started with a phone call to Les to see if he could get us a place in Long beach,Ms. but no further than Pass Christian, 2 hours later I talk to Les and he had taken care of everything. He had put me in touch with a really nice Pastor of a church in Pass Christian, but unsuspecting to us(Jerry and I) Pastor Robert and Holly live in Waveland about another 14 miles! We made it though tired and hungry(again) and are having a wonderful time. Dinner was prepared,shepards pie(yum), salads and fruits then homemade pound cake (yum yum). We sat down and rerouted again due to the fact we have heard there is a possibility of some of our chosen routes still closed due to Katrina. better to find out know then later. We will be heading toward Hammond La which should be about 73 miles, but if there is a way I'm sure we will end up with close to 90 miles.
A super special thanks to Les, Pastor Robert and Holly for all they have done.
Till tomorrow,
Tracy and Jerry
