People need to move to Florida where it is cool.....

If you don't know Jesus as your Lord and Savior you need to accept him now because Hades must be hotter than Louisiana. 

Today we traveled from the panhandle of Florida, to Alabama, to Mississippi and are in Louisiana.  Between Baton Rouge and Lafayette we passed over the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge which carries two spans of I10 over the Atchafalaya River and swamp, the largest swamp in the United States.  It is 18.2 miles long, measuring from shore to shore, which makes it the second largest bridge in the United States measuring from shore to shore. 

It is interesting to note that the longest bridge is the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway which measures 23.87 miles and is a popular draw for New Orleans' tourists.  Obviously, this is also in the State of Louisiana.  This all sounds glorious except that the highway from west end of the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge to Lafayette is like an ole timey washboard and whoever constructed it must have had way too much Cajun juice!

We stopped at Frog City RV Park in Duson, Louisiana, which is a Passport America campground and is very nice. It is right next to a Casino, which we might go to if it doesn't cool down around here:)  We had requested a pull through site so as to avoid unhooking the car since we are only staying the night.  Everything was fine and we even have cable so we can try out the new televisions installed by our friend Ron Rhodes.  The only problem is our water hoses would not reach to the spigot and Van went to the office to purchase an extra hose.  Unfortunately, the office does not have supplies, nor the adjoining truck stop.  However, the office manager was so nice that she loaned us one of her personal hoses from her RV. 

Did we mention that it is hot here!!  By the time Van had the coach set up and I walked Monet, we both looked like we had been swimming.  Did we mention it is hot here!!!

We have settled in, have watched the U.S. Open, until it was stopped for weather there.  We will have supper soon, hopefully cool off and get to Kristin's and Chris' house late tomorrow afternoon.  If it's going to stay this hot in Texas, we might have to call  Kristin and tell her will wave to her as we go by on the interstate.  LOL!

Talk to everyone soon.
