Well, Liz, Cathy and TJ had the margaritas. I stuck with Sprite for this one. TJ caught a few waves at the beach even though there was hardly anything to catch. Then we went back to Liz's where Cathy took control as chef. She and Liz made this awesome bruschetta ...

... lights and all tons of cars. We all got off and proceeded east on 90. To my horror, the rains came in buckets and 4 minues later i was soaked alll the way thru. Waterproof Gear...my ass!<br><br>After two hours i'd made it 7 miles on SR 90. I got back to I-10 and was the only one on the road for miles and miles. I gave it more gas, which did two things: first, i froze my tail off. Secondly, I couldnt see anything due my faceshiled fogging up. It just got too dangerous ...

Today has been a blur! I got into Houston last night at I dont konw what time, but it had just gotten dark. It was about 650 miles from New Mexico to Pearland (Houston TX), a very cool ride through Hill Country. Grif will be happy to know that i was drops away from running out of gas...I got off the little backroads and hit I-10 just as the low fuel light came on.

Oh well.<br><br>We&#8217;ve been taking some time out from our very busy schedule to do some serious relaxing.

I hate me too.<br><br>We hopped on a Greyhound bus in New Orleans bound for ...

Leeroy experienced a road trip U.S.A style 6:30am straight to the coach with a stop at Pensacola beach nice white sands e.t.c. for lunch &amp; Avo...too bad there was a thunder storm warning so beach was closed for the afternoon so ended up a 8 hour straight drive.. the seas were angry that day my friends.

... I was still pretty exhausted and didn't have my head in the game the way I should have. I am sure that I will learn to stay closer to my camera in future ventures so I don't lose the memories of what makes all this travel so great.<br>

... Kappa International Honor Society for awarding me with the the Mosal Award which has funded a big chunk of this trip. Secondly, I want to thank Pensacola Junior College, which approved a sabbatical leave, releasing me from my teaching schedule for a few months so that I can take advantage of this opportunity. Finally, I want to thank Earthwatch for making it possible for me to participate in this 2009 Expedition which they call ...

... for it's beach, the campground had no beach. I have now discovered that Pensacola Beach is really an island. AAA led me to a lagoon; a lagoon that didn't even have a beach. It may have had aligators, but I didn't stick around to find out. I was supposed to stay in Pensacola for tonight as well, but when I woke up at 6:30 this morning and was sweating bricks by 7:00 am, I figured a change of location was in order. But, I'll jump back quickly so ...
