WE HAVE ARRIVED!

Well, we had our Cajun meal, and I must say that it was one of the best meals I have ever eaten.  We asked the owner of the campground where we were staying (he is a native of the area) where we should go eat, and it took him no time to tell us.  He told us exactly what to order and we did, at least most of it...we could not have eaten that much food.  We ordered the gumbo, Tom had chicken and sausage and I had shrimp and crab and it was unbelievably good.  After that we shared a seafood platter and got away with an incredible meal at a very reasonable price.  It was amazing!

This morning, after a night of torrential downpours, we left the rain and took off for Texas.  It REALLY rained hard in Louisiana but they said that they needed it, as does Texas.

We were only 27 miles from the Texas border, so it did not take long.  We were glad to get off of the washboard roads of Louisiana, they are really bad.  We drove 112 miles today to Galveston Bay, a nice short drive.  We stopped at the Texas Welcome Station and took a few pictures to prove that we made it.  There is less than 400 miles of our trip left....however, EVERYTHING in Texas is far from everything else, so it will still take a little time to get to Mission.  We will be here until Thursday morning, leave for Corpus Christi, where we will stay for four nights, and then drive next Monday morning to Mission.  So far we are right on schedule.  Tom has done a great job driving the fifth wheel and Barklee has done well as our passenger.  And we have met very nice people along the way.

Here is the proof that we are actually here!

Catch you in a day or two!
