Friday, October 12, 2007, Day 36
. . . Most of today was taken up with driving -- we drove from Sweetwater Tennessee to Tuscaloosa Georgia -- about five hours north of New Orleans. Was another beautiful, warm, sunny day. Had an opportunity to do a bit of shopping at the restaurant for lunch. I love it when we stop in a restaurant that has a gift shop! We saw these incredibly tall Wall Mart and Lowe's signs today -- Ben estimated them to be perhaps 300 feet tall -- could see them a very long way off. Went across one time zone today so now we are in Central time rather than Eastern time. Diesel cost was 2.99 gallon. Driving East the cost was progressively cheaper -- very nice indeed -- but of couse now we will be paying more and more. As I remember gas was costing just at $3 a gallon in Seattle when we left whereas in Virginia it was aout $2.65 gallon.
That's about all the news for today.
