While in Houston we sampled one of their local traditions an Ice House Bar. These bars could be described as a dive by first impression with the garage doors, writing, grafetti all over the walls and the well worn furniture. Their unique in that the beer is in buckets on the bar and you help yourself paying before you leave on the honor system. They had a live bad and we danced yes the Texas two-step which Jim describes as the same as other dancing just more arm pumping! We did have a good time! Our cousins treated us to some more Mexican cuisine and Elaine made chili for supper one night.
We traveled down to New Orleans yesterday and today stopping in Henderson, LA for some cajun cuisine near the levee. The restaurant named Pat's is world famous and is very picturesque. We sat on the porch oveerlooking the bayou and feasted on Gumbo, alligator and blueberry cobbler.
Plan to tour the French Quarter tomorrow and then on to Tampa. We are staying in an RV Park just blocks from the French Quarter which has a wall and high security gates. This is a luxury park with hot tubs, individual toilets with adjoining showers.
More later.
Janet and Jim
