A wild drive

We couldn’t sleep very late. I was up at 5:30 but let Evelyn sleep another hour. I took the refrigerator and other items into the hatch. I had hooked up the trailer last night and took it over to get the frozen and refrigerated items from the community refrigerator. It seems packing is forever. We were finally on the road by 7:30. We didn’t stop for breakfast until reaching Kingsville. I knew we were driving into a violent rainstorm area but didn’t hit it until we reached Rosenberg where we stopped for lunch. When we came out, the torrential rains had begun. We drove for 3 ½ hours barely seeing the taillights of the cars less than 100 yards in front of us. All were driving around 45 with emergency lights flashing. I have never driven so long in such a driving rain. We had booked a room in Beaumont and had to make it there today. When we arrived, it was raining too hard to take luggage into the motel. We just checked in and went on to Red Lobster for our dinner. We were back by 6:30, took 2 suitcases in and peeled off our wet clothes. We were in bed by 9. I took some time to blog and publish some pictures that I can’t publish without the high speed Internet available in the motel room. The big disappointment is that we don’t know where the church clothes are packed in the trailer.
