Perdido Sun Pensacola

Pensacola... the show was good, the hotel was horrible.

For the record, Pensacola does not count as Florida. The panhandle is not Florida. I know Florida. Pensacola is Alabama light.

I couldn't even find a Publix nearby!

On to New Orleans!!!!!

:)

De camino hacia New Orleans, paramos a visitar dos Parques Nacionales, el Big Lagoon, uno de los mejores parques en la costa de los USA, y el Tarkiln Bayou Park, caracterizado por las raras especies de plantas como algunas carnivoras.

... lights and all tons of cars. We all got off and proceeded east on 90. To my horror, the rains came in buckets and 4 minues later i was soaked alll the way thru. Waterproof Gear...my ass!

After two hours i'd made it 7 miles on SR 90. I got back to I-10 and was the only one on the road for miles and miles. I gave it more gas, which did two things: first, i froze my tail off. Secondly, I couldnt see anything due my faceshiled fogging up. It just got too dangerous ...

... rounding the top of hill after hill and there was NOTHING. This is HILL COUNTRY, people! Finally, I made it to Ozona TX and was able to fill up...now i know i can go more than 260 miles on one tank if I have to.

It was a long day of interstate riding; i got on at Fort Stockton TX and went all the way past the Astrodome. Its HUGE. When i got to my aunt and uncles, she insisted that I park my bike in their barn instead of the ...

... is a constant supply of cold beer, and there generally is .

The water in the Gulf is so calm that for 3 days there were no waves at all. It is also crystal clear so we were able to watch manta rays and various other fish swimming about. We even had the pleasure of having a Loggerhead Turtle pop up in the surf next to us when we were walking along the snow white beach one morning. And of course there were dolphin bobbin’ and a-weaving about all over the place ...

Leeroy experienced a road trip U.S.A style 6:30am straight to the coach with a stop at Pensacola beach nice white sands e.t.c. for lunch & Avo...too bad there was a thunder storm warning so beach was closed for the afternoon so ended up a 8 hour straight drive.. the seas were angry that day my friends.

... I was still pretty exhausted and didn't have my head in the game the way I should have. I am sure that I will learn to stay closer to my camera in future ventures so I don't lose the memories of what makes all this travel so great.

... wonderful. It did rain but mostly all around us. When it did rain we were at the Wharf and on our way to Johnny Rockets. It was fun and the food was really good. We usually don't play the juke box but did this time. I was surprised by the song my daughter-in-law played. I did not know she likes the Temptations! We ate at our favorite places again and again the food was delicious. One place we ...

Electricity? YES! Instead of "Daddy, are we there yet?" Today was filled with "Are we in Mississippi yet?" Audrey is collecting a keyring from each state and she forgot Mississippi the first time through it so BY GOD we're not going to forget it today! So we started our day with our last Antebellum....the Oak Alley famous for its 28, 350 year old Living Oaks. Clarkism, "Kids, for oaks to be living ...

... partners. I know that a lot of the youth didn't want the trip to end but I think most of us were excited to see all of the families and friends when we came around the corner... My prayers for all of us is to remember that we are not alone, that we will have to fight our Giants on our own but friends will stand with us and that we are all loved just as we are.
