We used to have a Christian book store, but they've gone out of business. I don't know if that speaks to a waning faith or declining literacy among the locals. I'm guessing the latter.<BR/><BR/>jeffrey, I usually try to avoid chain restaurants when we travel, although that might be the "safe" bet!<BR/><BR/>I used to have a terrible time sleeping on the road, too, Doug. Now I always try to at least sleep on a carpeted floor. But seriously, valerian root and Advil liquid gels usually do the trick for me. Earplugs help, too.intelliwenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01872666573909696493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1243874013166160718.post-54122025037115538882009-01-04T02:19:00.000-05:002009-01-04T02:19:00.000-05:00I have never travelled well.

Especially when out on the road, it is hard to determine a good place to eat without asking your advance tasters(the locals) who has the good food.What, Who, When? https://www.blogger.com/profile/02150208440777888118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1243874013166160718.post-32792405115469366662009-01-03T11:35:00.000-05:002009-01-03T11:35:00.000-05:00Unfortunately, one could go to a strip in any town...Unfortunately, one could go to a strip in any town in American, and it will be the same strip as all the other strips in other towns...reduced to a common denominator, which makes everything the same. I find that sometimes one can't even tell what town one is actually in, due to the sameness. Americans want sameness. As much as I love Barnes and Nobles for example...the one in Nashville is the same as the two in my town, which are the same as the ten in Miami.<BR/><BR/>OK, I have no idea what the devil I'm talking about here.jadedjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16569736113526368917noreply@blogger.com
