We made Midland

Today I really feel like I did something. It was a long hot drive from Austin to Midland, with a nice stop in San Angelo at the fine arts museum. Big thanks to the museum for the air conditioning, snacks, and cold drinks!

We arrived at the Midland Holiday Inn, to find the restaurant was closed, and the bar is not licensed to serve on Sundays. Most of us were too pooped to jump back in the sevens and go out to dinner, so the local pizza delivery places did a great business tonight.

I saw many weary faces tonight, I'm concerned people are not drinking enough fluids. I'm sure they will figure it out soon enough. I filled my 70 oz. Camelback two times today, and had several bottles of water along the way.

A note to those who know Sexy Sid, he is doing fine. A little sunburned, but happy and smiling. We were joking around with some friends earlier and I commented he took a nap in the car today (at 75 MPH in the Birkin!), but he insists he was only resting his eyes.

No Intenet connection at the hotel tonight, so I'm on my cell phone. I'll see if I can get any pics posted later.
