st louis bay, ms

so I am at gulf coast in MS now. I am going to NASA Stennis Space center near here for a 2-day workshop about hurricane simulation. I applied for this workshop in March, and got rejected for some reason at first, then I send a long group email, copy to staffs at NASA Stennis, questioning the decision. Then she let me in. Sometimes people reject you not because of rules, it is just they are lazy and don't want to go extra miles. So you have to push for it.

After 3 hours' drive, I am here, in a motel just 1 mile from the beach. This motel is the best I could find in this area. After hurricane Katrina, everything is being rebuilt. This afternoon I went out for a scenic drive, but what I saw was very depressing. I could not even find a good place to eat, I mean my GPS shows a lot of restaurants which turned out to be no longer there.

How to spend the nights here? This is a bar, a casino and wireless internet here. Maybe I just do all of them.

This is tian logging off from st louis bay in MS.
