Apologia (from the Greek)

So here's what happened: We were gonna blog. We really were. But in NOLA, Alex was unsuccessful in his attempts to connect his laptop to the internet, so all blogging was foiled for two days. Then, in Cape Girardeau, Mizzo, we arrived quite late and only had time for our complimentary cocktails.
What follows (above) is a recap, as best as we can remember, of our easy, breezy, beautiful roadtrip.
