Bye, bye Texas; hello Louisiana

Left Texas behind today.  Did see a coyote jogging along the highway on our way out of town this morning. 
Scary bridge, Fred Hartman Bridge that crossed the Houston Boat Harbor.  A view of the harbor.

We are at the Lafayette KOA.  It is a really beautiful place.  We have a lot right on the lake.   It was actually cool enough to sit outside for a bit this afternoon.  Only here overnight so didn't unhook from the truck.



Doesn't seem to be a drought here in Louisiana.  The closer we got the more lush and green the area became.  It was a nice change from the refineries and building construction going on in Texas.  No more ocean but many swamps/bayous.  Short drive tomorrow, staying just outside of New Orleans for the next four days.  See you there.

Not sure if you are planning on hitting New Orleans proper. I think Dad would LOVE the "donuts"/beignets and coffee at Cafe Du Monde. They are world famous and in the French Quarter.
