Part 2 in a series.
We started off early so we could be in Cape Girdaeau by kick off, we stopped in Medford for breakfast at McDonalds. We picked up the Avenue of the Saints at the Iowa border and followed that through Iowa. Our 2nd stop was in Waterloo Ia. Doing good on time we stopped in Mount Vernon Ia for gas and lunch. Just passed through Hannibal MO. Hoping to be in Cape Giradeau for kick off! 1:44 PM Jan 24th. Hit Cape Giradeau by 5 now watching Vikes at Applebees. Great game but they lost in OT.
St Andrews Lutheran Church in Cape Giradeau has a nice field house they let us stay in for free. At just over the halfway point on the trip it was a welcome nights rest in Rush Limbaugh's home town. This a great service they have provided since Katrina.
Getting oil changed in Cape Giradeau then off to Mobile 8:27 AM Jan 25th, we ate breakfast at the Taco John's. After a long drive through Arkansas, Tennesee, and Mississippi, we arrived in Mobile Alabama at 6:06 PM Jan 25th. Drove right to the St Mary's Church where we would stay for the week in an old nun's convent. Very ornate woodwork, but parts of the building needed serious repiars.
Follow on my next blog as the trip continues.
