Road Trip 7:.....The Bayou's and Byeways of the South
The plan for our seventh visit to the United States is to return to New Orleans and then explore the hinterland of Louisiana. Immersing ourselves in such exotics concepts as Cajun, Creole and Zydeco. We then plan to move further west into Texas. I say plan because one never knows what is round the next bend, be it good or bad!
Jim and Cathy had invited us to call in for a couple of days on our way to New Orleans. They have a house in a forest by the Santa Fe River. It is a beautifully decorated double wide home set in a couple of acres of woodland. They have several porches you can sit out on. It is a really peaceful place. Just when we thought that we would be leaving our friends in Florida behind, Jim and Cathy (who we were staying with) announced that they would like to come with us to New Orleans!
This was great, they are going to travel with us for about a week before going back to Florida for a HOG Bikers Meeting (Harley Owners Group) next Wednesday, so we had a quick turnaround at Jim and Cath's on Monday to do the washing and left in convoy for New Orleans on Tuesday. We made great progress on Tuesday and stopped overnight at Falling Waters State Park near Marianne in Florida. Here is a quick pic of our campsite while we are gettig ready to eat.
We sat round the campfire as the sun went down. When we lokked up the setting sun made the tress glow red, as though they were on fire.
Falling Waters State Park is a small park with fairly naoorw roadways, sites cna be small. It is not busy, but book for weekends. 2/3 facilities on site. $20 p.n.
