Coast to Coast

New Orleans

Posted on August 22, 2010February 23, 2017 by Ian C.

As well as covering about 315 miles today, we spent an hour in New Orleans … St Louis Cemetery #1, established 1789, was interesting, and some of the French Quarter was impressive – but Bourbon St was awful, and smelly, and the weather was just too hot and humid to be enjoyable!

Four states in one day!

Posted on August 22, 2010February 23, 2017 by Ian C.

Today we began in Louisiana, visited New Orleans, then traveled through Mississippi and Alabama before finally reaching Florida (though we still have more than close to 500 miles to go!); we also suffered the very worst wet weather ever seen – twice! Crazy rain, continuous lightning, and thunder so close to be heard even over the noise of the crashing rain on the car!

Texas to Louisiana

Posted on August 21, 2010February 23, 2017 by Ian C.

Another longer drive today, of about 460 miles, taking us from San Antonio, down past Houston to Galveston, across the (free!) ferry and on in to Louisiana, industrial-looking Lake Charles and stopping overnight in Lafayette, where we just had an excellent dinner 🙂
