St Charles Street Car
15 marca 2016, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ⛅ 75 °F
Started our day with breakfast and jazz at Cafe Beignet then boarded the St Charles Street Car and headed to the Garden District for a walking tour.

We started at Lafayette Cemetery No. 1. Kind of creepy but reading the tombstones was fascinating. http://www.saveourcemeteries.org/lafayette-ceme… We then hit the neighborhood, suffice to say we saw many beautiful historic homes including Anne Rice's mansion.

We rode the streetcar uptown to the end of the line passing Loyola University and Audubon Park, then back to Canal Street. Walked through the French Quarter to return to our car...something new on every corner. Czytaj więcej

Slidell, United States
16 marca 2016, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ⛅ 77 °F
We took a tour of the Honey Island Swamp. The water was very high from record floods, so not a lot of wildlife, but we were well educated about the Louisiana swamps and bayous by our tour guide, John.
We dined at Keith's Seafood and had some delicious gumbo, a shrimp/oyster po-boy, chicken wings, fried rice and freshly boiled crayfish... our best Cajun meal so far. We bought some Louisiana strawberries at Camellia Produce then took Hwy 90 back to the city. A beautiful drive through the bayous. Czytaj więcej

Evergreen Plantation
17 marca 2016, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☁️ 73 °F
We toured Evergreen Plantation today, located on the banks of the Mississippi. Our guide Desiree was fantastic! She really made the location come to life with her animated delivery and phenomenal knowledge of the property and region's history.
The Big House, slave cabins and grounds were used as a location in the movie Django Unchained and are being used for a remake of Roots.

Went to the visitors center at the Whitney Plantation and walked the grounds but didn't take the tour. http://www.whitneyplantation.com/
We passed by blooming wild flowers and the Super dome on our way home. Czytaj więcej

19 marca 2016, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☁️ 57 °F
Started off with a yummy breakfast of savory pastries from Dong Phuong Bakery in East NOLA. The Gulf Coast has some excellent Vietnamese restaurants and bakeries. We arrived at Majestic Oaks RV Resort in Biloxi, Mississippi via the Gulf Coast Scenic Byway. A gorgeous drive with views of white sand beaches, harbors and beautiful homes.
Our afternoon was spent cleaning the coach inside and out. Czytaj więcej

Flowers are blooming at Majestic Oaks RV Park.
Biloxi has an excellent Visitors Center http://www.biloxi.ms.us/visitor-info/museums/vi… across the street from the Biloxi Lighthouse.http://www.biloxi.ms.us/visitor-info/museums/li…
Visited, but didn't leave a deposit, at the Beau Rivage Casino which rivals some of the nicer Las Vegas casinos.
Drove east to Gulf Islands National Seashore where we took a short hike and visited the Visitors Center. http://www.nps.gov/guis/learn/index.htm Czytaj więcej

Spent a good part of the day biking along the seawall. We really enjoyed looking at the white sand beaches, seabirds, harbors and beautiful homes.
We also chatted with some local fishermen and homeowners about life on the Gulf and surviving and rebuilding after Katrina. There are a lot of large oceanfront lots for sale where homes once stood as well as much new construction.
A near perfect day😊 Czytaj więcej

Ocean Springs , United States
22 marca 2016, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 59 °F
Following an awesome lunch at In and Out Breakfast we biked east along the Biloxi Seawall, over the Biloxi Bay bridge to Ocean Springs before heading back. Took our time biking through Old Town, through neighborhoods and the old cemetery. We've loved our stay along Mississippi's beautiful Gulf Coast. Great beaches, friendly people, delicious food...

23 marca 2016, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☁️ 72 °F
A pleasant drive down the Gulf Coast from Biloxi, through Mobile then into Florida. We're staying at Playa del Rio RV Resort, between the bay and the ocean. Nice location but nothing fancy...except spring break prices. We drove east to Navarre to visit with Randy's cousin, Greg and see their beautiful home a half block from the bay. Greg and his wife, Debbie, treated us to a delicious dinner overlooking the water, at the Oar House in Pensacola. Czytaj więcej

We took Kuma for a walk on the beach this morning... boy was he a happy pooch! That is until he got a bath afterwards.
We spent the afternoon at the National Naval Aviation Museum. What a fantastic place! The Blue Angel's are based next door and we got to see the end of their training session as we drove in.

A storm blew in just as we left the museum so more RAIN, lightening and thunder. On the way home we stopped at Joe Patti's, a wonderful fish market that Deb and Greg told us about, for some fresh gulf shrimp.

Hattiesburg, United States
26 marca 2016, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ⛅ 70 °F
After another wild night of thunder storms we departed the Gulf Coast for Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Sunny and warmer as we made our way northwest. It was nice to travel through hills and forests. We arrived at the Forrest County Multi Purpose Center to a nearly full RV Park, as they were hosting the Easter Barrel Racing Fun Run this weekend. We were one of the few rigs without a horse. We continued eating our way through the south with some delicious sandwiches at E & L's Triangle Seafood and Po Boys. Czytaj więcej

On to Vicksburg
28 marca 2016, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 64 °F
We had hoped to spend Easter Sunday taking a long bike ride on the Longleaf Trace, a paved rails- to-trails multi use path, but ended up watching a movie at the local theater due to the never ending rain. Thank goodness today dawned sunny and warm for our drive to Vicksburg. After settling in at, the very nice, Ameristar Casino RV Park we spent the afternoon taking a walking tour through Historic Downtown Vicksburg, driving through Old neighborhoods and walking through casinos.

Vicksburg National Military Park
29 marca 2016, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 70 °F
Spent an enlightening day touring the Vicksburg National Military Park. It was sobering thinking of the 29,491 lives lost during the 47 day battle, which was a turning point during the Civil War. There were monuments throughout the park, as well as the town, honoring the soldiers who fought in the battle. The tour included the USS Cairo Gunboat and Museum and the Vicksburg National Cemetery. This is a must see destination for anyone traveling in this area.

Shreveport - Bossier City
31 marca 2016, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
We crossed the Mississippi River at Vicksburg early 3/30 in an attempt to be in Bossier City, LA before the next thunderstorm hit... and we were successful! In fact it waited until that evening so Debbie hit the Louisiana Boardwalk Mall. We're staying at Diamond Jacks Casino RV Park.
Today was beautiful so we started our day with a bike ride along the Red River which divides Shreveport from Bossier City. We then visited three very interesting Louisiana State Museums: the Louisiana State Exhibit Museum http://www.sos.la.gov/HistoricalResources/Visit…, Spring Street Historical Museumhttp://www.sos.la.gov/HistoricalResources/VisitMuseums… and the Shreveport Waterworks and Train Museumhttp://www.sos.la.gov/HistoricalResources/VisitMuseums… We ended our day at Bergeron's Boudin and Cajun Meats...Yum!

Arrived at Palo Duro Canyon State Park, the Grand Canyon of Texas, yesterday afternoon. Beautiful views of the canyon from our campsite. No cell service.http://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/palo-duro-canyon
We toured the visitors center today then drove into Canyon for provisions. Saw the sorriest looking horse we've ever laid our eyes on. I don't think he was neglected as his pasture mates looked fine... he was just ugly. Gorgeous sunset this evening. Czytaj więcej

Today we drove the Turquoise Trail to Sandia Crest in the Sandia Mountain Wilderness. At 10,678 ft of elevation it was cold and windy but the views were phenomenal! http://www.turquoisetrail.org/
On our way home we stopped at Tinkertown, a very quirky folk art museum. http://tinkertown.com/
We also stopped in Madrid to stroll and check out the local galleries. We sampled and bought some amazing dark chocolate at Shugarman's Little Chocolate Shop. Saw lots of sculptures along our drive.
We spent the afternoon exploring the Santa Fe Plaza. Lot's of original pueblo style architecture, shops, restaurants and churches. The Cathedral Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi is especially beautiful.
