Bye, Bye New Orleans June 25


Well, it is time to depart New Orleans!  Texas Ranger has been here since June 1, and it is time to move on.   We have thoroughly enjoyed the cuisine and sights of the Big Easy, and as well having traveled to Lampasas, TX for a family reunion and to Corpus Christi to attend to some business matters.  We have expanded our waistlines with Creole and Cajun cuisines (some partaken of in VERY rural and authentic settings, where American English is hardly recognized or spoken), and have seen unique venues and museums.  We heartily recommend the WWII museum; a full day is barely sufficient, though we were treated to a “special” tour of a PT-boat restoration project that is not open to the general public, and must be taken on the workers’ lunch hour.  Fascinating!  The boat has been cleaned (somewhat) of swamp slime, and we will depart tomorrow for locales east of here!
