On the 9th we left Betty’s and headed back to Bayou Signette state park. Thursday and Friday we went into New Orleans, stopping in the French quarter at Café du Monde for café au lait (www.cafedemonde.com/coffee.html)and beignets (www.cafedemonde.com/geignets.html)
From there a walking tour of Jackson square area including the Hurricane Katrina and Mardi Gras exhibits at the museum. Both were wonderful. Stopped at Pat O'Brien's patio bar for hurricanes and than on to The Gumbo shop for lunch.
Friday we went back to the quarter and rode the trolley out to the garden district and back and than stopped at Jimmy Buffet’s Margarittaville for a late lunch. Than back to the campground to have a few more hurricanes from the mix and rum than Scott and Diana bought. We had also bought more shrimp and made coconut shrimp with cole slaw and potato salad for dinner. Wonderful food and company, and I think everyone went home a little tipsy from the hurricanes.
Saturday morning we said good-bye to Scott and Diana and headed off to Texas. We are staying at a corp of engineers park on Sam Rayburn reservoir about 14 miles north of Jasper Texas. Pretty uneventful and boring trip except for the major damage I did to the trailer trying to get out of a parking lot. I did not see the horizontal bars at the top of the posts and tore up the roof edge in two spots. We will contact the insurance tomorrow and hope to find a place to have the repairs done.
