On the ferry

This wonderful phone deleted my earlier post, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. Walked 12 miles by 12pm and the whole time bugs were dive bombing me in the face. Been bitten by all sorts of bugs but mostly near my elbows, my ankles and on the back of my neck. Alabamans are kind of dour, and keep very much to themselves. Thus far my days in this state are lonely and solitary, and long stretches of nothing. To get off dauphine island there's a 3-5 mile bridge. Once I make it across, I'm done for the day.
