Day 221: Selma St, Mobile, AL Raining. We really didn’t do much, or go anywhere. We sat inside while it rained. Katherine took us to a popular burger bar down the street from her house.

That was the beginning of a tastebud odyssey. We didn't cook much campfood while in Lousianna or Mississippi. Eating the local fare was... Continue Reading →
