It took a whole lot of back and forth before I got there.
Got sick my last day in New Orleans
Got some medicine...Stayed and extra two days
Drove to Florida...Still felt sick
Did nothing for two weeks recovering
Watched a Red Sox game...Felt better
Drove to Lake City...Camped Out
Drove to Pensacola (awesome night sleeping on the beach)
Kissatchee National Forest (Louisiana)
Ouachita National Forest (Arkansas)
NO TRAIL MAPS OF OUACHITA?!!! DOH!!!
Emergency plan B...visit Andrea in Austin
(Sounds like the start of an alphabet book)
After a couple of fun days hanging out with Andrea and her
two cuter than cute kids (ages 3 & 4) I headed off for San
Antonio. My goal was the River Walk and it was just as good
as advertised . The whole thing is down below street level and
it's both a peaceful oasis and a wonderful outlet for all sorts of
colorful cafes, shops and hotels. There are places to sit and relax
sprinkled throughout, historical markers from time to time.
There's even an amphitheater at a bend in the river with the
stage on one side of the river and the seating set into the
opposite bank. I went in the morning when things were just
getting going. Many of the boats were for taking water from
the river and watering the plants. I had a lovely (and slightly
spicy) Mexican breakfast just so I could linger a bit and take it in.
