Hello all!
We're currently taking a break from the road in front of the San Jancinto monument in Houston TX, waiting for some heavy rain to pass.
Since Thursday, we've had a great time in New Orleans, and passed through Louisiana on to Texas!
New Orleans was absolutely fabulous, our good friend Zoe Christopher-Hernendez gave us a great tour of her home town and the French Quarter, hitting all the great places. The French Market, Cafe Du Monde, and of course... Bourbon Street! We had a great time, and got to see plenty of street musicians playing New Orleans Jazz.
Also stopped into the VERY COOL, International Vintage Guitar Store on Tchoupitoulas St. to fuel my guitar addiction...
On Friday we said our goodbyes and continued on west, driving through Baton Rouge briefly, but mostly just aiming for the Texas boarder. We made it before dark, but not before hitting a very intense thunderstorm. Stopped at a picnic area off Route-10, around 70 miles out of Houston for the night, and then made our way in this morning.
Today's attraction thus far in Houston has been the U.S.S. Texas Dreadnought Battleship(BB-35), which had a very ominous looming appearance in the messy weather we've seen here. Also, it happens to be the last remaining Dreadnought in existence today.
And, right nearby, the San Jancinto battlefield and monument, where Texas gained it's independance.
When the weather lightens up, we'll be on our way up to Austin.

Ohhhhh, I love Cafe Du Monde...you lucky travelin' ducks. Your brother is an amazing gardner. I love it...he has the radio turned on outside and we are all simply dancing in the cul-de-sac. He was so nice. For Ian's outside birthday party I asked if he would turn up the stereo so we could enjoy music. He did!!! Sure miss you guys around the neighborhood. From the looks of it though...you guys are having an amazing adventure. judy & gang
