Waiting for Godot or the Right Alternator: St. Bernard State Park, 6/6/08

Well, we biked over to the Midas dealer only to find out that the wrong alternator was delivered. One was finally located (hopefully the right one) and it should arrive tomorrow – from Atlanta. So, knowing that the ORIGINAL alternator was at least working, we asked them to re-install that in the Eurovan and decided to go back to St. Bernard’s State Park. At least that place has a pool, free wi-fi and is a lot more enjoyable than hanging around the hotel. New Orleans has been fun, but I’m ready to rumble again!! We indeed spent the day swimming and just hanging out. It was nice to have a quiet dinner “at home”, get a pedicure (thank you, Ned), wash the van, read aloud and surf the internet. (The photo is Ned making dinner after we washed the car). This State Park has hundreds of bunnies that are always running around and gorgeous bright red cardinals. It’s fun to just watch them. Here’s hoping that tomorrow brings the right part and it works! The big decision we are making tonight is whether to keep to the original schedule and head for Jackson, Mississippi or stay along the coast and then head for Auburn, Alabama thus pretty much by-passing Mississippi. I guess we’ll wait til tomorrow and see what happens with the Eurovan to decide.
