No pictures today...hopefully some tomorrow!
First day of traveling. I left MP this morning after a tearful goood-bye in the Huddle House parking lot with Sherry.
Short course was to go to Columbia and then Augusta to Atlanta to Huntsville to see Judith and Bill. However, I've never been a short course person, so I went to Columbia, then up to Spartanburg with flowers to "talk" with Lee and Mom and Dad. Couldn't go through Greenville without one more hug from Robert, and then on to Atlanta 5 o'clock traffic - YUUUUUUCK!
I am in Rome, Georgia, now in a Hampton Inn ( for those of you who know about my feud with HI, they sent me a silver card and I willl forgive them when I can't find anywhere else to stay!)
I ate at the Beacon in Spartanburg - a Road Food choice and one I've eaten at before, decent but nothing to leave the road for. However, supper was altogether different! I asked for a favorite local place in Rome and got La Scala, Italian fantasticness. I was brought a chef's small appetizer of pasta pocket with pear and cheese and covered in prociutto (sp), walnut sauce - Yum! Dinner was gnocchi with tomatoes, sausage, and sauce - Yum! and topped off with creme brule cheesecake - yet another yum! Expensive, so that won't bee repeated, but definitely worth it!
For those of you wondering, I was a good person and stopped every 80 minutes - except for my 2 hour delay in Atlanta - feet are good!
Swim in the pool and a good book and I'm done!
Wishing you safe travels! Can't wait to see you.
ReplyDeleteThat meal sound fantastic! When in Rome, right?? Sounds like you're already having a grand adventure and a very full day. Will see you soon. Hugs to Aunt J and Uncle B.
