12-28-09 Monday (Bicycles Are Over-rated)

We departed the RV park this morning at about 10 am.  Jacksonville – here we come.  The ride over was uneventful… mostly.  Here’s the day in pictures.

Above: Jim and I refer to this as “The Wall of Death”.  We DO NOT enjoy riding next to a shoulderless wall.

 Above: Prejudice and proud?  It’s a huge flag.

 Above: The front says “Operating Room”.

  Above: YES this is a man on a very tall unicycle.  He’s also in 2 more photos below.  Look for him.  How funny is this?

 

We stopped at a Mexican restaurant prior to the RV park.  We met up with Alix and Lisa.  Later Larry met up with us.  We met at La Nopalera, a very yummy place.  All 4 of us had the fajita nachos.  Be sure to visit Casa Hice for more photos and details!

Above: Yum!  I omitted the peppers.  I’m old – they repeat.  Anyway, this was excellent.

With full tummies, the 5 of us headed to the RV for a few minutes.  With the slide in, it was cramped at best.  Good thing it was just a few minutes.

We arrived at the Pecan Park RV resort in Jacksonville later in the evening.  The park is very nice.  No mobile homes, just RV’s.  It was great to be back in this kind of atmosphere. 

Somewhere between the restaurant and the RV park, the stairs stopped retracting!  We weren’t aware of this problem until we arrived at the RV park.  Jim checked it out and found a broken bracket.  He tied the steps together so they’d stay retracted.  While at the RV park we used the auxiliary steps we have on hand that we usually use with the screen room or for a more permanent feel.  I’m hoping for no other break downs or MISadventures for the rest of the trip.
