This was basically a travel day; we explored some of the bayou area of Louisiana and saw a sign that led to Kate Chopin's house. I was the only one who had read her, but everyone was willing to see her house. Our docent was quite well-versed but she was equally well-pickled in alcohol. The back of the house was in terribly disrepair, but the interior was in good shape. We ate at a delightful restaurant for lunch, Copelands of New Orleans, although we weren't in "N'Awleans" anymore. Once again, we were serenaded by a great jazz quartet while we ate. Music, churches,crosses seem to be a recurring theme as we travel from state to state. We saw some plantations on the Cane River and a place called Natchitoches (or something like that)
The hotel in Longview, Texas, was the pits, but we were tired. They had a grasshopper infestation, and I actually killed some in the room with my tennis shoe. Grody!
