Travel Update

Hi, everyone, and sorry for being MIA for the past couple of days.  Not much has happened here.

Tilly is experiencing some brake issues, so she is at the shop.  The rest of the crew is staying with our friend Denali in Portsmouth, VA, until she's fixed.

On Cinco de Mayo, we tried to go to a Mexican restaurant a short walk from our hotel.  I guess all the Williamsburg townies had the same idea, because the wait time was an hour and a half to get a table.  Nobody in their right mind should wait an hour and a half for a table, so we decided to walk to the closest grocery store/liquor store and make ourselves a fancy dinner back in the room.

At the liquor store, we picked up some rum to make mojitos, some tequila for margaritas, and a jar of moonshine.  As we were checking out, the moonshine fell over on the counter inside of the brown paper bag.  The woman in line behind us said "it's dat moonshine falled over in there."  The cashier tried to right the jar, but it fell over again, prompting the woman behind us to yell "IT'S AWREADY DRUNK!"  She and the cashier both dissolved into a fit of shrill, cacophonous laughter.

Dat moonshine

Our meal ended up being great.  We made mojitos and vegetarian burritos with black beans, refried beans, guac, sour cream, tomatoes, onions, and lettuce.  I can post the recipe if anyone is interested.  Would you like to see recipes on this blog?

We also discovered a new awesome snack: Stacy's Roasted Garlic bagel chips and guacamole!

Don't just take my word for it.  Please go try this.

Hopefully Tilly gets out of the shop soon so we can continue our adventure.  Our next few stops are Myrtle Beach, SC, Charleston, SC, and Savannah, GA.  If you have suggestions of places to go and things to see, please reach out and let me know!
