Stuck in Valdosta, Georgia

About two hours into our trip today, a kind trucker signaled for us to pull over.  Our tire on our trailer was seized and smoking.  Sigh.

After about an hour wait, AAA showed up and towed us to a service center.  It appears that the ball bearings will need to be replaced.  We don't yet know how long this will take--fortunately, we have a few days of wiggle room, but we really want to visit the Georgia Aquarium and Colonial Williamsburg before stopping for a few days in Maryland.

Here's hoping for a quick (and not too expensive) fix......

In the meantime, we visited a buffet here in Voldosta.  I had some fried okra, some sort of mushy meat meal thing with gravy and some really spicy cucumber salad.  Yum.

The waiter appeared to be laughing at us a bit. I'm not sure if it was because we talked funny--or maybe because we sampled each, and every thing at the buffet.  We did thank him when he removed our plates and refilled our soda and he laughed then too.  I don't know, but I did enjoy the food.
