Banjo Man and I stayed in Rapid City, South Dakota Wednesday night.  It was a short day on the road, due to sleet, rain, snow and wind.  Yep, SNOW.

I have the snowy pictures to prove it, but there’s something about my internet connection, WordPress and uploading photos that is not working.  I keep trying and it keeps doing nothing and I’m going to blame it on the Hampton Inns and try to stay at a different chain tonight (in Minnesota?  Iowa?), even though we’re racking up the points for a free night’s stay.

We’ll be crossing South Dakota today.  We’re wearing our warmest sweatshirts and socks.  I’ve been up since 3, being very quiet so Banjo Man can sleep.  I write every chance I get.  Today I’ll try it in the car and see how that goes.  We’re always on the lookout for giant antique malls, which are great places for a walk and a stretch and an excuse to get out of the car for fifteen minutes. 

We splurged for a Perkins lunch yesterday, but I think from now on it will be Subway or Wendys and eating in the car.  Banjo Man found a taco place last night and brought home a bag of them for dinner while he watched the debate on tv.  Fine dining on the road!
