Sorry - Not too many photos - more tomorrow.
Ok - today is day 16 of our trek. From Boerne TX we traveled to Bastrop TX (day 14) by way of Austin. We toured the capitol - this was a very pretty place & the grounds around it were quite picturesque. But before we saw the capitol we had to check out the mother of all Whole Foods - very 1st Whole Foods (aka whole check) just kidding. This Whole Foods was the largest I have ever seen. It was something to see. I have never seen so many places to eat in a grocery store or so many different types of food to choose from. Gail said there was a creek/water? running through it. We didn’t get to see that. After our outing in Whole Foods we saw the capitol. There was a rally going on there for women’s rights. We didn’t stick around for that - I don’t think they would have wanted to talk with me. Speaking of talking to me - remember when we were in San Antonio at the big parade & the reporter wanted to interview us for the paper - well we made the paper - all 2 or 3 lines. But they did get our names & addresses right. Moving on - we spent the night in Bastrop TX at the Colorado River RV Park/nice place. Yesterday we stopped in Sulphur LA. We took a trip into Lake Charles & drove around. We needed to pick up a few things at the grocery store - so we found the nearest one AND there just happened to be a Goodwill Store next door. Gail & I sent the guys food shopping & we HAD to check out the Goodwill. We did manage to fine a treasure or 2. The guys were good sports. While at the store we had the guys get some of the local specialty - “Boudin Sausage” It was really good. It’s a mixture of meat & rice. Tonight we are in Breaux Bridge LA. This RV park is really neat. We are sitting on the bank of 1 of several lakes in this park. Everything is so green (humidity is rather high) We will probably be here for 2 nights. After we got settled in this afternoo we all took a ride around Breaux Bridge & Lafayette. Tonight we are going to hit one of the hot spots in town for some good Cajun food & live Cajun music -will let you know how it is. Tomorrow we will be taking a boat tour of the swamp. Check back tomorrow for the report on this adventure. They told us the alligators don’t eat people here the people eat them. I sure hope so. Pictures to follow.
