Today we traveled from Trinidad to Euray. Euray is beautiful. The mountain air is refreshing! We saw a lot of beautiful scenery. Tomorrow we aren't going jeeping. Instead I have no clue as to what we are doing. The town is so small, and quaint. Last night I was burning hot, tonight I will be hot. For dinner we had...HAM! Grandma Ann's favorite meal to fix. Every time we see her its HAM! I like ham but this is beginning to be a tradition! We, Gotta get some sleep. I'm extra tired.

Today we began the long trip to Georgia. The trip is long and annoying. Valerie and Clay constantly play and whine. Ann is completely silent. The phone constantly rings for Linda. It is usually Diana. The smell in Monroe, Louisiana is unbearable. We ate at Shonies. We have an 8 hour driver tomorrow. Maybe we will listen to more weird ghost stories. Oh Goodie.
(From the ghost story we heard - I can still remember the first three lines. It was a book on tape...I found the real lyrics on-line.)
'It was my mother who murdered me; It was my father who ate of me; It was my sister Marjory Who all my bones in pieces found; hem in a handkerchief she bound, And laid them under the almond tree. Kywitt, kywitt, kywitt, I cry, Oh what a beautiful bird am I!”

I will have to find my same journal entry for the Georgia trip to see if Clay and I were the only annoying ones....
Do you remember that crazy song that went with the ghost story?? This is all from memory:
My mother, she murdered me
My father, he ate me
But my loving sister Marjory
Put all my bones beneath a tree
And I came back to sing on high
Oh what a pretty bird am I
And I came back to sing on high
Oh what a pretty bird am I!
Ha ha, my favorite part is "The smell in Monroe, Louisiana is unbearable." I hate Shoney's, or however it is spelled. But it's possibly better than Denny's.
