Woke well rested at the rest area and freshened up a bit. Drove the rest of the way to San Antonio and found an all-day parking spot. Searched for a diner unsuccessfully and settled on a little cafe which offered breakfast English muffins and coffee. Noticed a sculpture of a drunk which looked like it was made from gladwrap. Stopped to take a look and the artist explained that it was actually a model of himself made out of tape. Next, we found the Alamo an...

Had breakfast at Magnolia Diner in Houston, which had the biggest serves I've seen in my life. Sam ordered the Big Breakfast, but without sausage and meat patty, when it arrived at the table I reckon the plate had an entire pigs worth of bacon on it. It also had eggs, hash brown (shredded potato), toast and a separate plate with three large buttermilk pancakes. Not bad for $8.50! I had my standard omelette order with hash brown. It also came with a side of grits,...

The waitress poured us a cup of bottomless coffee and took our orders, best & cheapest breakfast so far. Even brought a novelty Dots Diner bobble head. Drove to view Destrehan Plantation which was built in 1787 and is the oldest documented plantation home in the l...

Woke up to the 6am alarm, reset it for another hour. Woke up to the 7am alarm and Sam convinced me to reset it for another half an hour. Finally got up, got a coffee from the vending machine and hit the road. Gained an hour when we crossed the border out of Florida. Stopped at Subway for breakie/lunch and am loving the southern accents. Everyone was saying y'all and was really polite. However ordering subway isn't getting any easier. It was Sam's turn to ...

Obviously, we didn't hang around at the International Inn Motel. Packed up and drove to South Beach. Got there really early, it was quiet and overcast. We walked along the beach on the compacted sand that feels similar to concrete. So far not overly impressed. Had pancakes for breakfast which were good but not fantastic. Didn't order coffee as it was $5 a cup which is the most expensive coffee we've come across. Have I mentioned how **** the coffee is in Am...
