Today marks a huge transition in our trip. It is the last day of major exploration and discovery in previously unknown territory. The trip home now begins in earnest. Tomorrow we start to drive across Texas staying on I-10 the entire way. We will stop in San Antonio to visit Jim and Sharon Moa, PLU alumni whom we spent considerable time with when we were in Thailand. It will be a short 2 day visit as we rush to Phoenix to meet Nathan, Cailyn, and Janie on the 14th. The five of us will then tour the Grand Canyon area and
after a week, Barb and I will then head north to home.
New Orleans is everything I hoped for and more. If you want to help in the recovery, simply come here, party, sight see, and spend money. This is an alluring and rich culture and the food is worth the experience alone. They are pleading for visitors here and the infrastructure makes touring an ease. If you need a “get away” come to New Orleans, a visit you will never forget. Simply stay in a downtown hotel or an inn in the French Quarter and everything after that is right out your front door. RV’ers, stay at the West KOA, which is friendly, clean, and has a
free shuttle to the Quarter twice a day. It even has free cable TV which you never have time to watch.
Thanks, NO, for your architecture, your hospitality, your art, your rich history and tradition, your music, your chefs, and your rugged endurance. New Orleans, there is nothing like it.
Today I should have stopped by the tourism office to pick up my commission.

abandoned kitchen in Lake View (note water line on the wall), Jazz in the street, and Barb getting instruction on how to deshell a crawfish.
