Big Trip---Day Fifteen

Thursday 19 May 2016

Up reasonably early to pack and wedge everything in the car.

Farewell to Susan and then a leisurely drive to Burns, Tennessee to the PUF Festival.

Arrived about 4:30, settled into our cabin and headed to dinner. The cabin has single beds, so no snuggling for warmth. There are mattress pads (?) but a hard wood base.

Found out we needed to purchase (or have brought) “feasting gear,” so we bought plastic plates, bowls, cups and utensils. Apparently the routine is you wash your own dishes after every meal. After a nice warm meal of potato soup and chicken stew, we cleaned up. (Since WE are entertainment, our meals are provided,)

Spent some time visiting with Brian, who pulled in just about suppertime, Mama Gina, and some new acquaintances, we went to a CD release party by Rowena Whaling.

Back to the cabin to rest.

I'm learning a lot on this trip. We were going South, right? So we packed for warmer weather---shorts, t-shirts, short sleeved shirts...a couple long sleeves just in case. Well. It was comfortable enough in St. Augustine...a bit cool in Mississippi….and it's in the low 50's here in Tennessee. We did NOT bring enough blankets or jackets. Brrrrrrrrrr.

I'm typing this Sunday morning---just got access to Wi-Fi---waiting for pictures to download to add
