Don't forget to check out our new and revised itinerary at:
It's been a few weeks without an update, and (by popular demand) we have been persuaded that it was time to get out a quick note on our travels.
We are currently in New Orleans, LA - after travelling a couple of thousand miles across the southern regions of the U. S. since leaving Santa Cruz, CA. Between visits with friends, sightseeing in the SouthWest, and visits to The French Quarter for cafe-au-lait and beignets, there just doesn't seem to have been much time for blog updates. (Not to mention nearly a week of flu in San Antonio, TX that forced us to skip one of our planned stops along the way.) Today we leave New Orleans for the final leg of this segment of Bounder Across America, and by late this afternoon we'll be back in Gulf Shores, AL, where we plan to spend a couple of months for R&R. Once we're settled in there, we'll be sure to provide a full update on our recent adventures. But until then... here's just a brief taste.
During these past several weeks we have enjoyed a number of side trips in Arizona, where we spent some time with friends Kate & Bill, and visited the ancient ruins at Casa Grande as well as the Desert Museum outside of Tucson. While stopping in San Antonio, TX we were able to hook up with friends Lynn & Joe who live in nearby Wimberly. Also, while in San Antonio we were able to enjoy a day along the RiverWalk, as well as time at The Alamo. Here in New Orleans we've had the opportunity to take part in the unique culture (and food!) of this charming city. The French Quarter was a must see; and we particularly enjoyed our visit to a Creole Plantation along the Great Mississippi River road.
Now, as we head out, we wish you all 'good times', and we hope that you'll come back to our blog for a more complete recounting of our adventures traveling through the South (along with a new Picasa photo album from Donna).
Donna & Glen
