Monticello, FL

Not much to report today as we continue the drive towards home. It was a fine drive. The new tires are continuing to provide a smoother ride, although who knows; it might be just a mental justification for the expense of the tires.

We have stopped in Monticello, FL at a KOA campground. It is probably the most expensive overnight of the trip and one of the worst campgrounds. Transients are placed in the mud bog behind the rest of the campground. The mosquitoes seem happy to have me back, though.

Nia has resigned herself to a life on the road. She sleeps the entire trip and is ready for dinner on arrival. Being a city girl, she is not too happy with mud, or dust, or gravel. Here at least she has some grass, and that makes her potty breaks easier. Tomorrow she will need to readjust to her home and yard.

Barbara and I are enjoying hummus and pita bread with wine this evening. (Under the watchful gaze of Nia who thinks that if we eat, she should eat, even if she just had dinner) Just because we are in a bog does not mean we have to give up the civilized life! We are trying to eat as much of the leftovers as possible because we will be home this time tomorrow, and the less we have to schlep home from the RV the better. Those who know me will understand that this places me in pig heaven. (Emphasis on heaven, not pig) Leftovers and lots of them.
