From Alabama to Texas!

After our visit in LuLu's ("crazy sista" of Jimmy Buffet - see my post from yesterday) we were heading towards Mobile Alabama and crossing soon the border over to Mississippi


This is the welcome sign at the Tourist Information Center


And in Mississippi are the Magnolias blooming already


The main attraction here was a trainer that was used since the 1960's. Also the astronauts from Apollo 13 were trained in this capsule.


This is now the Lunar Lander


Fred Haise was one of the astronauts of the mission of Apollo 13 and he was a local guy from the region here in Mississippi


This is the moment before we crossed over the bridge and also over the famous Mississippi River in Baton Rouge in Louisiana


View down to the "good old Mississippi", captured out of the car


Always take also a look back! This is the skyline of Baton Rouge, LA


The oil industrial area of Lake Charles, LA


We were driving also trough heavy swampy areas


And arrived at the border to Texas


Friendly welcome signs everywhere!


Hi my friends,

Thank you for all your kind comments to my last post and for visiting my blog. I do appreciate your words and your loyal visits.

We are arrived now in Texas, not to long ago. Only some miles behind the border at I-10 we have found a nice little campground. I'm pretty happy for that, then last night we spent a night on a Truck Stop again and it was raining like crazy and not so friendly looking around us. It was the first time on our trip that I felt a little bit insecure. But we "survived" the night well and we were driving almost the whole day long - to Texas. What I need now is a real Texas hat, right...? :)

We don't know just now what we will do and where we wanna go tomorrow. Maybe down to the Gulf shores to Galveston and Port Aransas to enjoy the beaches and to watch the wildlife. Who knows.... we will see...

Stay tuned and see you soon again with new pictures.
Susanne and David
