15 passenger van

There is quite a bit to share…so this is why you may notice multiple posts on the same day…

The road trip…it was quite a road trip, it was difficult at times to keep a positive attitude, being shut into a 15 passenger van with 12 other people and driving for 8-10 hours in a day is rough. However, we made it through; the first day was really the hardest. We stopped in Indio, CA, Deming, NM, San Antonio, TX, and Houston TX before we made it to our final destination of Bay St. Louis, MS.
Indio had nothing to offer us and it seemed as if Deming was going to be the same. However, as we were on our search for a restaurant that was open at 8 PM in Deming, NM we stumbled across an Italian restaurant that reminded me of Morazi’s (for Elon people) and Bantam Pizza (for CT people). So basically, don’t enter with high expectations. However the food turned out to be fantastic and our meal was followed by the chef singing a Frank Sinatra song to the 26 Americorps people who occupied the restaurant. It was really something else. So that was just simply lovely!
Next we visited San Antonio, I don’t remember that much about my meal besides the fact that I had a Margarita at the place and it tasted like it was a virgin Marg. Sad. After dinner we walked around the river walk. It was quite nice, very pretty down there, they were all decorated for Christmas so the lights had a very nice effect. The down part of San Antonio you ask? Well let me tell you people. We visited a restaurant/bar called Dicks…now as this place apparently they pride themselves on being Dicks and treating people poorly (in a joking manner of course). Well picture this, Nice Emily Buckley sitting here with a group of people she has only known for a little while…I have a fleece jacket on zipped all the way up (you cannot see anything but a fleece jacket on a girl)…it comes time for me to order and the waiter looks at me and says what will you have “sugar tits.” From that point on I decided I do not like Dicks, he also continued to say this for the remainder of the hour we were there, it made me uncomfortable, we left. The end of San Antonio.
Houston has very little memories. We did not see much of Houston, we spent our time at the largest mall in Texas…exciting I know. We had the nicest hotels of our trip in Houston.
Finally, we arrived at Bay St. Louis! Woo was I glad to reach our destination. Please proceed up to the next entry if you would like to learn more.
