Louisiana!

Hello Friends of CC2C!!
What a whirlwind day it has been. We are currently blogging for the first time while actually on the road with our new Verizon Air Card which in itself is pretty cool. Where are we blogging from you might ask yourself and the answer may surprise you as it has surprised us. Right now we are driving through the back country of Louisiana on our way back to Arkansas to pick up where we left off last night. Why are we in Louisiana? The day began in Greenwood, Mississippi with 9am temperatures reaching around 94 degrees. We had decided to not start early in the morning to give us more time to rest and plan our day trip to Jackson, Mississippi approximately 2 hours south of our location at the time. The main goal of that trip was to get Alex's wrist x-rayed to determine if in fact he had broken it. We departed around 11am after a glorious breakfast at the Holiday Inn and made our way south and east towards Jackson. Upon our arrival around 1:30pm we headed to the Central Mississippi Medical Center for the verdict on Alex's wrist. Fortunately the x-rays came back negative suggesting that he had suffered a severe sprain but no break which the group found relieving. After a short lunch at a local Chinese Buffet we headed into Jackson to beat the heat for the remainder of the day before hitting the road again in the hopes of making it to Crossett, AR before nightfall. Our route took us once again across the great Mississippi River into Louisiana in which we will follow highway 65 until we cross back into Arkansas. We should get a good few hours of skating in before night falls and the relentless swarms of blood-sucking mosquitoes attacks again. For now we are enjoying the scenery of beautiful Louisiana. Stay tuned for more exciting adventures of the CC2C Team!!!
