Kilgore
Greenville vanished behind us in smoke, literally. There were forest fires south of us in Georgia, so a thick haze surrounded us for several hours. Alabama was hilly and dry, Mississippi just as hilly but wet and green. Louisiana was flat--the sort of flatness you only expect to see in the Midwest.
We saw an armadillo dead on the side of the road. My very first armadillo.
Texas is warm and humid. The girl at the hotel desk was named Ivy and had a voice to match, but didn't dress the part. Our room is slightly sketchy--but not quite so sketchy as the Days Inn next door, and with blagotubes access to boot--and we're keeping the door firmly locked.
