Day 39, Vancleave MS to 773 magnolia road outside Poplarville MS

I was thinking about today and I don't think much happened for the bulk of it so I'm just going to blast through the morning section.
- had breakfast at BJ's cafe and it was amazing. Vancleave was such an affordable town. Accommodation, dinner, five beers, big breakfast and coffee cost a total of 17 dollars tip included.
- radio stations today weren't all bad, even grabbed some NPR and they said that they liked the new Taylor Swift album. Thanks NPR.
- dogs chased me again. I'm so tired of angry dogs. So tired. I'm going 20 mph and they still rip after me. You're too slow man!
- beautiful riding today, low traffic and peaceful trees.

I'm staying tonight at Paul and Judy's place outside of Poplarville. They are both extremely nice and Paul is loaded with stories to tell.... Probably too many stories. I'm a little concerned that Paul is a bit racist and extremely conservative, but I'm white and don't talk about politics so I think it's going to be fine. In the end they cooked me a fantastic dinner and are planning a great sounding breakfast tomorrow so I'm in for that. The only place cheaper than Vancleave might be here. They are getting into bee keeping and are calling the honey magnolia honey, I'm okay with that. I don't think they know anything about coffee because Paul was really complaining about Ecuadorian coffee. The man says folgers is the best coffee he's ever had.... It's like talking coffee with someone that claims Tim Horton's is the greatest. Different tastes I guess. Anyway, nice enough folk that have been extremely hospitable to me which I enjoy.

Get into it!
