San Antonio, Texas















The Shrine at the Alamo. We learned more about American history and about Texas fighting for their independence from Mexico. Then photos taken on the Riverwalk. It was very impressive. The bridge that John and I are standing by was in the movies, Selina and Cloak and Dagger. Will have to rent them. Miss Congeniality was also filmed on the Riverwalk. We took a narrated ride on one of the riverboats but still did a lot of walking. Stopped at a couple of the restaurants for beer and snacks along the way. Def a 'must do' in one's travels around the U.S.

French Quarters, New Orleans









We met Bob and Patsy from Cape May, New Jersey at the rv park and hooked up for some fun times. They are headed to Texas so will likely see them again. Patsy and I bought funky earrings and scarves at one of the shops at the French Quarter so now we are 'with it'. Really enjoyed our new friendship.

French Quarters, New Orleans




We arrived in New Orleans on Thursday and spent Friday at the French Quarters. Really enjoyed walking around the area and are taking the free shuttle from the rv park to Jackson Square again tomorrow. Met Bob and Patsy who are going with us. Bob got us tickets to the House of Blues Sunday Gospel Brunch. Lots of places to go and most restaurants and bars have entertainment. The man with the dog did not move the entire time we were in the area.

Yes, that's water we're driving through !


We left Canada on Monday October 5th after attending Derek and Amanda's wedding in Owen Sound on the 3rd. Headed to New Orleans but decided to stop in at Tiffin in Red Bay, Alabama to finally get the ice maker fixed. Arrived at the Allegro CG on Thurs, they put us in to the express bay Monday and got us looked after just fine. As usual they pampered us. Left there Tues and drove south on 59 for most of the day. Decided to stop at an Elk Lodge for the nite and found this one in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. It was a challenge getting to the site but it was fun. And only $10 with water and 50 amp service.
