A day in Tallahassee

We were all exhausted from yesterday and remarkably managed to sleep until 8am. Breakfast in the hotel is nice enough although we subjected to a TV showing Fox. The young here have been lovely but some of the older people stared openly; not explicitly unfriendly but not friendly either.

J and H went to Wal-Mart to do a bit of shopping. Pippin and I stayed by the pool. The heat was severe so I moved to be under a large bush and Pip dug a hole under my seat. There's an Applebee's attached to the hotel so lunch was there when the wanderers returned.

H had a post-lunch sleep and then the heavens opened. There was thunder and lightning for about an hour but it passed. We could then spend the evening in the outdoor pool. It was so pleasantly warm and a perfect day. Tomorrow we shall be heading to the south for the beginning proper of the vacation.
