Hello!

On Tuesday, we spent the morning and early afternoon in New Orleans. That meant driving into the French Quarter, finding parking (!), and then hanging out at the market. First, we hit the flea market, then had lunch at the Gazebo café, and desert at the Café du Monde. That’s really all we had time for as we had made a hotel reservation in Birmingham, Alabama, for that night. Making reservations ahead of time like that is a good thing for us, as it keeps us on track. Check out our pictures for some more Roadtrip trivia!

One thing Mike and I have been remarking on is that we essentially feel like we are “almost home”, even though we still have close to three thousand kilometers to drive by this Saturday. I think this is a testament to how much we have driven in the last three weeks! In the future, planning a trip “down South” will not seem like such a big endeavour, that’s for sure!

I’ve been keeping these for a day when our blog post would be short, so here they are: interesting signs seen from the road:

Roads: Twenty Mule Team Road, Crazy Horse Road, Wild Horse Pass Boulevard, Sawdust Drive

Town: Surprise (Arizona); Maringouin, Grosse Tête, Boutte (Louisiana)

River: Old and Lost River

Restaurant: Starvin’ Marvin’s (Texas)

Sign: Rodeo next right (Texas)

Sign: LITTERING IS unlAWFUL (El Paso, Texas)



Until next time,

Cheers!
