Movin' East - Day 69

Tuesday, November 11 (Veteran's Day), Day 69 - driving from Louisiana to Florida.

First of all, I want to apologize for some of the pictures last night. I inadvertently posted unedited pictures, so some of them were dark and unrecognizable. So, to make up for that, I am posting the edited pictures which you were probably not able to see last night. For the pictures we took today, see today's web album.

This photo shows the center aisle and altar at St. Louis Cathedral at Jackson Square, New Orleans.
This is a close-up shot of the Altar in St. Louis Cathedral.


This is me, standing at the corner of St. Louis Street and Bourbon Street in New Orleans, LA - aka, "The Big Easy".

Today was a "travel day", driving from New Orleans to Callaway, FL, which is just south of Panama City. We actually made it further south, about 20 miles, to Mexico Beach, where we had reservations at Rustic Sands Campground. However, it was dark when we got there, so we decided to find a Walmart to overnight at. So, we turned back north to Callaway and are now in the parking lot of Walmart.

After we arrived, we fed the pooches, then walked over to a Papa John's Pizza shop and ordered a pie. While we waited for the pizza (25 mins), we went next door to the Guadalajara Mexican Grill and ordered Margaritas. As luck would have it, it was "Hapy Hour", and small Margaritas were 2 for 1! We drank and had tortilla chips and salsa (free), and when we got the check, it was for $3.98!!! We really felt bad (for about 2 seconds), then we paid the check and went to get our pizza. The pizza was just "OK", nothing to write home about (although we ate "the whole thing"!).

Tomorrow, we will continue our journey south toward Tampa, FL, and Lazydays RV Supercenter. I doubt we will get there tomorrow, as we seem to be "dragging our feet" at this point, sad to believe that our journey is coming to an end.

Tune in tomorrow for details on our progress.
