Bob: "I am back in Mombasha. Small country roads. A car goes by every once in a while and they wave. Small general store with seven pickups parked in front. There's a group of old guys on the porch talking. Two cups of coffee and a banana: $1.71."
We eat our leftover grits for breakfast.
We do some birdwatching: scarlet tanager and maybe a red-headed woodpecker. There is a funny bug with its butt up in the air that lands on the RV hood. Corinne takes a picture of it but I haven't figured out yet how to upload the pix.
Outside the Meeman-Shelby State Park Visitor's Center there is a fascinating plant called "Scrubbing Rush". It looks like bamboo. I wonder if it would survive in Upstate New York.
We try to ride our bikes to Piersol Lake but we can't get there. A private party is using the lodge there.
Corinne goes to Memphis to try to sell her little hats at a Judaica Shop. No luck.
Nothing better than a hammock in the woods. It's 101 degrees.
In the evening we have steak at the Shelby General Store. The store's pet rooster greets us.
There was supposed to be a bango player there for Steak Night but he didn't show up. A couple with a two year old are just as disappointed as we are because they have been trying for three years to get here and the day they can finally come: no bango player.
At the bathroom that evening Bob sees a four inch millipede. Fortunately it's dead. There is also a waterbug that is at least two inches long, belly up, thank God.
