Today's a travel day, zooming through the rest of the Florida panhandle after a layover in Tallahassee. The visitors' center on I-95, just over the Georgia border, gives you a free shot of Florida orange juice. I thought this was a brilliant idea, and yesterday mused on Twitter that Pennsylvania should give tourists a shot of Cheez Whiz as they enter. (Other Tweeps mused possibilities for other locales: @BenoitLeLievre suggested a "mouthful of poutine" for Montreal; @FrankWheelerJr suggested corn on the cob, a steak, and a Huskers t-shirt for when you cross the Missouri River into Nebraska; @tinapporter and @PhillyPoeGuy both suggested adding scrapple to that Philly Cheez Whiz at the border.)
Anyway, no big update today... but this is just the calm before the storms of New Orleans, Houston, Austin and San Antonio (today through Sunday). Lots of bookstores to visit, including the Garden District Bookshop and Octavia Books (in New Orleans) tomorrow. Also kind of dying to check out the Faulkner House Books in the French Quarter.
Postcard update: No postcards today. Saving the next wave for N'Awlins, but will also pick up some Florida beauties along the way today.
