After leaving NM I headed out to a spot in mid-Texas and then a quick jaunt to New Orleans. Texas was never my thing and it involved many hours of “flat” driving. I arrived in New Orleans and had booked a spot on Chef Meneut, a dark dank area of the city that is known for cheap hotels and rv parks. Needless to say I was not impressed with New Orleans. I realized after the fact that while I often hear many people say “I would love to go to New Orleans”, I don’t often hear people say “I can’t wait to go BACK to New Orleans”. So I will leave that there.

I cut out of New Orleans a day early and headed towards Florida for the final destination on my journey. My plan was to stay there for a week or two and recharge my batteries. My faithful chariot “Peace Train” could use a nice winters nap. ☮️
