So there I was crawling onto the Greyhound bus in Corpus Christi, Tx. Somehow I should have known my bus ride would not fit in with the ordinary. The first several hours were not horrible. I met some new people and even though the leg room, or should I say lack of it, left a little to be desired. I usually meet so many people in a crowd that I have trouble keeping the names straight. I met some very good people on the bus and I enjoyed conversing with all.

   I think Mike was the one going to pick up a car for his daughter. It turns out he had never ridden a greyhound and was hoping for some tips from a seasoned rider. I was not much help. Other than the ride south from Idaho to Corpus Christi, I had not been on one in many years. We decided that the seats in the new buses, while looking comfortable, tended to hurt your tailbone after a stretch trying to lay back and rest. Mike had brought a pillow to put behind his head and ended up sitting on it. Apparently it helped.

  In top pictures. Bus depot in Richmond, Virginia. A lot of people had already loaded on buses before I used my quick wits to get a picture. The other picture was of a gal who was just going to the next town and didn't want to wait for however long the next bus was going to take.
  And saving the most important picture for last. This is Mary Lee sitting in a different spot than I left her but still my pride and joy. I need to get power and water in her. Clean up some messes I left in my rush to get going. I am extremely  sleepy from bus ride.  but I need to get a few things done and get a shower. The later I can stay up and the sounder I hope I can sleep tonight. I will take a day or two to rest and then it will be time to get serious.    Gotta get moving, I am falling asleep here.
