Thanks for the informative article and the wonderful pictures. I travel vicariously, although I once took a bus through the gulf coast going from Texas to Florida in 1978. I can say I've been there but I believe I was asleep on the bus. :)

In my latest newsletter I write about my life experience and the way writing poetry has helped me to cope with my illness. Here is part of my new poem:

I embrace the challenges that come my way,

I find courage to overcome them each day,

I perceive the strength that I will be okay,

I seek out God's will to trust and obey.

Allow me to live a meaningful life,

Guide me through my trials and strife,

Give me faith so that my doubts decrease,

Fill my life with love and peace.
