I woke up about 6:30 and couldn't go back to sleep. Our spot is 100 yards from I10 with a busy rail line on the other side of the freeway. The noise never stops. I played games and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast. We wanted to go see the ostriches before it got hot, so we left for there as soon as we finished eating. The temperature was already in the mid 80's.
We had a great time at the ostrich ranch. We fed all of the animals and bought extra food for the birds and the stingrays. The ostriches were just as aggressive at snatching food as ever. It was just as much fun as I had hoped it would be.
After we left we went to fill up the truck. Fuel was $6.19/gal. Fortunately we needed less than 4 gallons. We also walked through the tourist trinket areas. The only things we bought were a couple of 32 oz drinks. We were really thirsty. Then we went home. I lined up the truck pretty carefully. I don't want any hassles hooking up tomorrow.
We spent the afternoon and evening hiding out from the heat just like yesterday. It got up to 104 again today. The AC is keeping us comfortable, but the refrigerator is barely keeping up.
I took Abby for a walk to the garbage in mid afternoon. It was about 2 blocks there and back. I walked on the side of the road so she could walk on the cooler dirt rather than the black pavement. She insisted on walking on the pavement.
I've been mildly worried about tomorrow's drive. It will be the most work of the entire trip. There's no helping it. It has to be done.
