Monday. On the Road. Someplace(s) in Ohio. (Click to show/hide comments)
We've been traveling through heavy rain for a few hours. While this must be murder for the drivers
(who seem to be handling the situation with great aplomb), it hasn't been much of a matter on the bus,
for most of us, anyway. The guys sitting in the two rows behind me seem to be QUITE concerned about the weather,
until I realize that this is Bus #13's culinary contribution to the trip: it's the cook and he's trying to
figure out how to serve food to nearly 200 RV- and bus-bound travelers in a complete downpoor.
The very helpful staff at the rest area comes through in a pinch! At the potentially-not-so-gentle prompting
of our bus driver, they invite us to eat inside!!! I'm stopping at the rest area next time I travel through
Ohio, whether I need to stop or not! The kitchen team does a fantastic last minute job of creating an assembly
line at the doors to a public facility, and making sure that 200 people eat (and fight the lines to the restrooms!)
in under and hour. The smiling guys in blue shirts wave to us as we head out the doorsw back into the rain.
P.S. I was planning to write more frequently and with more detail about the trip, but since the power plugs
on the bus don't work, and crunching photos takes a lot of battery power, you won't hear more until tonight.
Besides, I think I feel another nap coming on...
