Biloxi MS to Lafayette LA 200 Miles
Day 10? Seems longer...
We left the Southern Comfort RV 'Resort' (not) around 9:30 this morning. The fog was burning off and the sun was coming out, looked like it was going to be a beach day. Figures, seems the day that we leave a place, the weather turns out to be the best of the week! Well, it was nice for driving...we hardly ever get through Louisiana without being in a deluge.
Along the way we passed through Baton Rouge and over the muddy Mississippi River. Such a huge river, it always amazes me. I looked down from the bridge and thought about how massive it is. Someone, at some point figured out that it takes 90 days for water at its source, Lake Itasca MN, to reach the Gulf of Mexico. It is the 4th longest river , and the 10th most powerful river in the world. As we rode up the bridge I took a photo looking north and at the east bank of the Mississippi at Baton Rouge.
Old Man River
We didn't put too many miles on today. We are at the KOA near Lafayette. Nice place with trees and a lake...and good WIFI! We walked for almost an hour around the park, almost a mile per loop...this place is big. I was surprised how much I was sweating, this is the first 80 degree weather we've had.
Later we took a mystery ride around Lafayette. It was the evening rush hour and we figured that if we went the opposite direction of most of the traffic, that we would find the downtown. We didn't. But we did find a Fresh Market and did a little shopping. We found our way back to the KOA and had an easy dinner of lasagna that I had made prior to the trip and frozen. Easy is good on travel days!
We are getting good feed back on the house showings. I keep looking at the virtual tour because I'll never see it looking that good again. Like the only thing on the kitchen counters is a Keurig coffee maker...yeah, we live like that...hah. I always tell myself when looking at model homes - people don't LIVE in model homes, that's why they look so good!
Tomorrow we are heading over toward the Houston/Galveston Tx area. We'll be in Texas for quite a while. We like Texas.
