Day 0 – On the Plane and Lunch (Craig)

New friends Hamir and Chris…

Laura’s business cards are coming in handy.

Hamir, whom we met on the plane from Houston to Gulfport, is a Riverside native now living in Ocean Springs, a Gulf Coast city near Biloxi. During the two-hour delay on the tarmac while awaiting flight re-routing, he offered dining suggestions and we exhanged business cards.

Chris, pictured above, runs Bruno’s Cafe, a lunch-only, week-day only cafe where we enjoyed fresh shrimp and crawdads, po’ boys, gumbo, pulled pork, ribs, and assorted fried seafood items. Hungry yet? What a great lunch!

Guys, if you’re reading this blog, thanks for extending Southern hospitality to us big city boys. God bless both of you.
