On January 4th, we got up at 5:30am and met Michael’s parents next door and
we had breakfast downstairs. I stole a couple extra bagels before we left to
save for later that day. In the beginning points of Louisiana, we drove along an
area with tall dead tress on both sides of us, then along a raised 20-mile
bridge into Baton Rouge.
Traffic got the heaviest through Houston, Texas. Possibly the most we had seen on our trip that far. We had
to slow down in the Penske truck and stay in the middle to make sure we stayed
close to Michael’s parents who were driving our cars.
There was a lot of chaos towards the end of the day because none
of the hotels had rooms and those who did, were not pet friendly. I was trying
to be helpful with finding directions and making phone calls, but got confused trying to use Michael’s iPhone. We ended up staying
at a Best Western in Ozona, Texas- 108 miles East of Fort Stockton (our
original stopping point). They didn’t usually allow pets, but said we could
keep Sasha in a smoking room. I hope she didn’t catch cancer!
Ahh that bridge! I remember that! So much fun! Did you guys feel like the roads in Louisiana were awful? When we drove through we felt like we were riding on a wooden roller coaster they were SO bumpy! Did you pass that really famous cemetery in New Orleans? I remember driving through there... it's such an interesting city. And last, you AIMED for Fort Stockton?!?!?!?! That's where we got stranded for two weeks. I felt like it was a black hole we couldn't escape from! Hahaha!
