Some of the best motels I've ever stayed in were of the ma and pa "strip" motel variety. That is, all rooms at ground level, usually facing a pool or courtyard, where you can park conveniently right by the room. That's where I am tonight. I passed up a nicer Best Western, where all ground floor rooms were being renovated, in favor of this one. I had a choice of "high-end" no smoking/no pets/exceptionally clean rooms, or rooms that allow pets, or rooms (even cheaper) that are closer to the highway. I decided to spring for the exceptionally clean. Though not charming, it is clean.
I stopped at Mom's Cafe in Salina for lunch today since it has been featured on Jane and Michael Stern's "Road Food" reports and my husband is a big Road Food fan. However, I made a big mistake by not ordering one of the things they're famous for (i.e. chicken fried steak) and ordered fish and chips instead. If Jane and Michael had ordered fish and chips, Mom's would never have made it into their report.
I passed up the local cuisine tonight in favor of the meatloaf sandwich I brought from home.

OK, I am going to try this again. Hopefully I have my Google Account figured out--I have far too many passwords and usernames for one person.
I am thinking you will make Memphis tonight. Never been there so I am looking forward to the next blog.
It is a beautiful day here--spring truly can't be too far away.
Vaya con Dios, good friend,
