Here's a nice picture from my side trip to Mammoth Cave. Isn't the cave exciting? It was even better visiting Helen and Dave, though, even if the peach ice cream experiment didn't turn out as well as we had hoped.
Now I'm in Atlanta, and as it turns out, the records at Emory are pretty much a bust. I photographed everything they had even remotely related to Cuba, but it only took me a day and a half, and I think it's mostly pretty dull anyway. Ah well, live and learn.
Tomorrow I'm off to Birmingham AL to visit Brian, and then I have to figure out where to go next. Rather suddenly, my dad is having his gallbladder out today, so I might head up to St Louis to see if I can lend a hand. Not in the surgery, though. Just around the house. Then, if the car holds out, maybe on to Austin, or maybe I'll head back to Nashville and from there to DC, and do Austin later. It's an awfully long drive to Texas. But I don't want to miss out on having Stacy as a research buddy! I am torn.
I'm sure this is all fascinating to everyone.

It *is* fascinating, Sara. Don't stop! We all hunger for archive reports!
And when are you going to announce your archivist ratings? :)
Sorry to hear about your dad! But you can cheer him up with some tales of archivist scandal, right? :-)
Happy travels!
oooh, archivist ratings is a good idea, Kathy. Perhaps I should also carry a thermometer to take accurate readings of just how freezing each archive is. Now that would be quality useful information.
