Another Cinnamon Bun.
Because of the planned meetup in Brandon, no time to wait for the place I intended to go.
Also, prairie dogs in the grassy strip between my motel and Motel 6. Noticed them while talking with Sev.Read more

From the outside, this did not look promising. Then there was the padded soundproofing in the hall towards the rooms! What?
Ends up, this is connected to a sports bar and a nightclub.
I didn’t hear a thing!Read more

Another Filet o Fish.
Because needed the WiFi to get directions back to hotel. Because Yelp sent me to the wrong restaurant (that was closed). (And passed by the correct place on the way back but by then it was closed too) 😭

Should have used Google Maps!Read more

Third Cinnamon Bun.
So glad I got three!
Elegantly served on the brown paper bag that it came in.
In the mug is PG Tips tea, which I let steep overnight. Nice and strong! I’ve been having it plain (vs milk and sugar), which is so Spartan of me.
It’s gloomy weather today.Read more

Stopped in Wawa for some gas and lunch.
The Subway road sign lured me with “Free WiFi”. Had a meatball sandwich which I’d been craving.
The best part were the giant geese sculptures around town.

Finally got my Thai food!
No Spring Rolls (😭) but the Pad See Ew is great. Ordered “medium” spice and glad I didn’t go any hotter.
Eating and lounging on the fancy couch in my room.
