We set off on the I-90 initially, but moved quickly onto the I-10, heading in the Baton Rouge direction. Though we by-passed the place completely it was another name that reminded us we were well and truly in the USA! We passed a looooooong freight train on a bridge on the outskirts of New Orleans and my fondness for trains was being rekindled; the ones we were seeing were real workhorses, shifting cargo across the country and keeping it off the roads, which were degraded enough in this area as it was with all the traffic. Shredded tyres littered the verges and the roads and there was much more road-kill.

Geo: 32.7831, -96.8067Glenn and I cashed in our AA Advantage miles for our flight from DFW to EZE (Buenos Aires, Argentina). We got out to the airport extra early, as we had to deliver the van back to Dany Smith.Once we boarded the plane, we started talking to a 73 year old man that was sitting directly in front of us.

His wife died about 8 years ago and he has been traveling ever since. He just got off of a cruise ship, re-positioning from Barcelona to Houston, the Jade just 2 weeks earlier.

Nach einem 3 1/2 stündigen Flug erreichten Christoph und ich den Flughafen von Dallas. Christina und ihre Tochter Cara erwarteten uns bereits, als wir ohne Koffer im Ankunftsbereich standen. In Dallas ist alles nicht so kompliziert und so gingen wir zu viert zurück zum Gepäckband und holten noch unsere Rucksäcke. Bei Christina Zuhause angekommen begrüßten uns ihr Mann Philip und ihre zweite Tochter Mila. Es dauerte nicht lange bis wir alle in den Pool sprangen und großen Spaß bei einer Wasserschlacht hatten. Christina verwöhnte uns die ganzen Tage mit sehr leckerem Essen. Überhaupt war alles perfekt für uns gerichtet. Wir hatten ein tolles Gästezimmer mit eigenem Bad. Wir hatten schon überlegt unsere weiteren Reisepläne über Board zu werfen und einfach in Dallas zu bleiben, weil wir es so schön dort hatten. Christina hat mit uns immer ... read more

Bonjour à tous, La réponse sur le terme Newfie: C'est un habitant de Terre Neuve. Terme considéré comme péjoratif. Mais il s'était présenté, lui même, comme un Newfie. Pour la fille de la photo, hier, j'ai trouvé à qui elle est ressemble, Jennifer Aniston, avec quelques centimètres en plus. Il est certain sur que je pouvais la trouver, plus que pas mal. Encore endormi, je me trompe de voiture, au parking. Une Audi A5, décapotable, garée presque à côté, presque le même numéro de plaque. En plus c'est celle que je voulais, mais sur les conseils de Pierre, et à juste titre je suis allé sur une Américaine par manque de con Ma soirée à Austin super. Ce n'est pas la Nouvelle Orléans, mais quand même beaucoup du musique. dans le quartier central. Mon hôtel n'était ... read more
