Out of New Orleans and into Louisiana!
After some logistical issues and several gear repackings, we finally hit the road early Sunday afternoon! It is amazing...New Orleans is a country within itself. It's culture is unique, it's food, dialect, architecture, it's liberal sociopolitical climate, you name it! After 8 months here, I have not felt like I have been in "the south"--at least as I stereotypically have perceived it. All it takes is about 20 minutes of driving and The South has arrived!!! We are mostly avoiding major interstates, so we are getting to see a bit more of the backroads of America! We are quite the spectacle for the folk of southern Louisiana! Everyone has been so kind and chatty and curious about why on earth we are dressed in full riding gear in the 115 degree weather! We were starting to wonder the same thing when we stopped for the night and Josh literally DUMPED a puddle of sweat out of his boots! We will be speeding north as fast as possible today! Cooler weather haven ahead!!!!
