Drive Time: Apx. 7 hours, 15 minutes
Highlights: Thursday was our day of non-stop eating. We woke-up to an amazing breakfast with the Ueltschey’s and Mrs. Gough, munched on an assortment of goodies Rebecca prepared for our car ride, ate beignets and po-boys in New Orleans and then (yes, gross I know) had a Texas-style Mexican dinner with Bill and Courtney upon arriving in Houston. (P.S. Rebecca, Mike is still talking about your monkey bread.) I had never been to New Orleans, so just seeing the city was a treat for me. It was hot as sin, but I’d love to go back with a group of friends one day!
Things I Learned: There are places in the United States that would make you think you are in a third world country (like the small grocery store at the Mississippi/Louisiana border. If you buy eight batteries for $1.99 (at the “Guatemalan” grocery store) they probably are not going to work. You can always find at least one Conservative Talk Radio Station in Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. It’s been almost three years since Katrina but the 9th Ward still looks like a war zone.
