Heading West! NEW ORLEANS and the Bayou

Apres la Floride, nous nous dirigeons sur la 10 en direction de l'Ouest! Hourra! La bonne temperature devrait etre avec nous pour un petit bout on espere!
Direction: South Padre Island au sud extreme du Texas!

After Florida, we head west. finally. Yay! Good warm weather should stay with us for a while we hope.
Next stop: South Padre Island, in the southern most part of Texas, on the gulf of Mexico.


Petite escale a New Orleans, en passant.
Small stop in New Orleans as we drive on through:

Premiere roulotte similaire a la notre. Pas une Lil Bigfoot mais une Casita. Quand on l'a passee sur la route, on etait tellement excite de la voir, on s'est presque arracher les bras a lui faire des bye byes. En general on voit des mastodontes de trailer de 50 pieds de long!!

First sighting of a trailer similar to ours! Not a lil Bigfoot but a Casita. We were so excited to see it, we nearly ripped our arms off waving at the owner! Normally we only see 50 feet trailers on the road so it was refreshing.

Les garcons aiment empiler tout leurs toutous et faire des arrangements de la sorte! On s'amuse comme on peu!!

Boys like to make 'arrangements' of their multiple stuffies in the trailer! Hey, they have to entertain themselves and be creative. Why we have so many stuffies when we are already so crammed is a mystery...

PRomenade en autobus du camping jusqu'au French Quarters, NO.

Bus ride from our camping to the French Quarters in New Orleans.

As per usual Gareth had everyone chatting to us and it was quite a fun but long bus ride!

Comme a l'habitude, Gareth a jase a tout le monde dans l'autobus et donc ce fut toute une experience culturelle pour les garcons!

  A WEDDING PROCESSION

 The crazy party Bourbon Street!

Then we went on a boat tour on the Bayon to see Gators! Our boat captain had a very French name like Turcotte or something like that. It was beautiful and we saw two huge alligators! The boys got to drive the boat as well on the way back.

On a fait le tour du Bayou (qui veut dire marais) et le capitaine de notre bateau avait un nom tres francais comme Turcotte et il parlait tres bien francais. Le tour fut tres agreable et le paysage tellement joli. On a vu deux enormes alligators se reposant au soleil.
