6/19/09 - New Orleans

So today I continued my way east and made it to New Orleans, La.
Here's today's route:
Also, here's what I saw most of the day: Traffic!
Bumper stickers at a souvenir shop in NOLA.

I must be getting really homesick because I didn't take too many pictures today. Nighttime pictures of NOLA weren't successful.
I checked into the hotel and went for a walk. It was almost unbearable with the heat and humidity. I walked the 1/2 mile down to Harrah's casino to play some poker, but all the tables were full and they had a waiting line. I punted and went to dinner. Ordered an oyster Po' Boy and ate the protein. Excellent oysters and bread. Just perfect.

Walked back to the hotel, had so OJ and updated the blog.

Random Thoughts:

• Ostrich farm 2 hours east of San Antonio - Neat!
• Finally a usable Internet connection. The Nets is important to our sanities.
• I wonder how much rubber is on the side of the roads. NHTSA has commissioned a study but it's not out yet. It's certainly not caused by retreads, I tell you that...
• Only 1 more day before I get back home! 3 cheers here.
• Listening to: Ender in Exile by Orson Scott Card
  
• Livestock update: Didn't pay much attention, but the right takes it because of the huge bonus from the ostriches.

That's it for now... Stay tuned...
