Mary and I arrived yesterday in New Orleans, Louisiana for a two-week stay during Mardi Gras.
Mary drove the motorhome for the first time yesterday, driving about 100 miles of the about 175 mile trip and did just fine.
We are safely parked in Louisiana’s Bayou Segnette State Park indicated by the BSSP Pin on the below Google Earth photo. We’re only seven miles from downtown New Orleans and intend to thoroughly explore the area while here.
Ever since arriving in Louisiana several days ago, just about everyone we talked with were very excited about their New Orleans Saints being in the Super Bowl. Earlier we had bought a bottle of Champagne to toast a special event…so yesterday we opened it, Mary cooked a delicious meal and then we popped some popcorn as we watched the game. It’s been more than 20 years since I’ve watched a Super Bowl game since I no longer care about sports, but I must admit it was a very interesting game. We have to go out to do some shopping and pickup some mail this morning and I expect the locals will still be celebrating and shouting “Who Dat!”
