Seems like I made the right decision to take a rest day in Tallahassee today, because the National Weather Service just issued a “take cover” storm warning for Live Oak, where I was planning to go.


“Wind gusts of up to 45 mph, pea size hail, and minor flooding due to heavy rainfall… could knock down tree limbs and blow around unsecured objects,” the NWS warning said. “If outdoors, consider seeking shelter inside a building.”


Thankful to be inside a building here—and a very nice one at that—already.


Seems like I needed a rest day anyway. All I did was get a haircut, study my Spanish, hand wash some clothes, visit the nearby Walmart, and take several naps.


Forecast looks good now for the next couple of days.


One of the things I really liked about the Hampton Inn is they had complimentary bowls of fruit—bananas, oranges and grapefruit—in the lobby, 24/7. Nice touch.
