Wednesday, July 29
Coffee outside this morning resulted in my washing the coach with the waterless cleaner. The bottom and back, anyway. And I am so much happier now that all the gunk is off! Driving day, heading mainly to SC, but decided to stop in Staunton, VA, where we stayed on the way up after the truck fire, and stay two nights, so we can visit the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library.
Got in around 4, and many pulled in right after us! Quitting time! Chatted with the man next door, took a walk around, and found the most pleasant lake, and then headed to Edelweiss for dinner. Accordion music alone was worth the visit to the cute chalet, and the food was pretty good, if not outstanding. Shared a piece of Black Forest Cake which was surprisingly good…I doubted it would be!
After dinner we took a drive into Staunton to check out the down town, which is said to have 100 stores, but is very old and historic, and quite charming to boot. We spotted the Library, so that is where we will return tomorrow. But it was a good time to drive around and see the old buildings with no traffic. And an unexpected Roadside Attraction! A giant watering can and flower pot and the Railroad Overpass!
We are amazed at the huge tracts of land attached to homes and the college! It must take them a week and a day to mow the lawns, which are neat and tidy beyond compare, with miles and miles of fencing! Beautiful!
Failed to mention that when we pulled in, Clem came back from registering us, and the step wouldn’t go back up! Motor churns, nothing happens! Drove gingerly to our site, and looked at it, but finally called a mobile mechanic, who will come tomorrow morning to see if he can get it to go up. It will delay our plans for the day, so hopefully he won’t be late! But at least we had decided to stay two nights anyway!
We have fallen into a pattern of sleeping later in the morning, which we attributed to the darkness of the coach, but now are staying up later, too, which makes mornings a bit later yet!
