Friday the 13th and all is well.
I am in Lavasota, Texas. I am maybe three days out of Louisiana. I'm so
close that I can smell the Cajun food from here.
It seems that , purely by chance, I will be near New Orleans when the
Mardi Gras is just getting started. It was worth riding here just for
that! Thanks again to Maria and Syd in Austin for helping me out and
giving me a chance to recover from my accident. While in Austin I
witnessed the most impressive display of lightning that I've ever seen.
The lightning strikes were almost constant, the wind was howling and the
rain was coming down in buckets. Fortunately, I wasn't out on the road
when this storm struck because it was a very violent display of mother
nature's power. The same storm headed northeast into Oklahoma and created
a number of tornados that killed eight people.
Onward to Louisiana. Texas has been difficult for me so I will be relieved
to be moving into a new state with mostly flat ground.
Start the gumbo!!!!
