We made Natchez tonite and went to dinner at a restaurant recommended by Roadfood.com. After 15 min of being ignored we left, went to a bar down by the mighty Missip. Had bar food, walked over, looked at the river and got back to the room. Came in and Ray was missing...oh no!! Could he have snuck out??? Nope, he got BEHIND the dresser and under it. Took me about 4 trips around the entire room even looking in the tub. G had to take the drawer out and haul him up. Doncha know there is this really skinny partly feral here at the motel. Had to tell him he was about 3 months too late, but still stood him to a good meal and will probably feed him every time he shows up.
Tomorrow, we'll see how many plantation houses we can do before I fall apart. We paid for 2 nights so Ray can stay in the AC and we don't have to worry about him frying.
