I’m writing this from a hotel room in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on October 6th. We started out in Alabama and traveled through Mississippi past a lot of on-going roadside tree cleanup from Hurricane Katrina. I was surprised to learn that it was still cleanup from Katrina. We had a great meal at the Purple Parrot Cafe (terrific upscale place to eat and a great price!) in Hattiesburgh, Mississippi. After lunch and some driving, we stopped at a visitor information/rest area in MS. We were still seeing lots of people who had been at the NASCAR races in Birmingham. One of those nice people found us in the center and told
us about a low tire on
the trailer and offered to pump it up for us. But Steve was prepared with his own little compressor, and got it pumped up and looking good again. All along the route through Mississippi and into Louisiana we saw lots of Hurricane damage from Katrina, Gustaf, and Ike. And the RV camps were full with people living in RVs and helping with cleanup, or just living in RVs now. It is hot and muggy outside, so we decided to enjoy AC after a long day of traveling. Tomorrow we’ll be in Houston and are looking forward to a short visit with Norm.
