we are crossing the bayou's
We decidid not to take the lake route this year but to come in the way we usually leave. Usually we cross the bayoiu's in the dark and don't get to see any of this. It is awsome. There are thise little run down fishing villages all along here. Looks like the only way to get to thm is by boat and how they ever built a home is a mystery because it looks real swampy around them. Think there are alligators in the reeds? Bet I wouldn't go in that water. We'll be coming in on the west of new orleans instead of in the center like usual.and o yeah the sun is shining a bit.there are still some clouds. The second mardi gras parade of 2010 is stepping off at 1 pm this afternoon. It's the krewe of claude parade. Wow - new.orleans is in view about 20 miles ahead of us. How magnificent! It's 56 degrees and getting sunnier by the minute. This is God's special welcome for us. God is good! Ok I'm going to go and enjoy the view!
