The Bayou - Day 13
After a “relatively” quiet night in New Orleans, our time at the Crescent and Queens Hotel was up. It was a great place at a great price. The price was tripling for the weekend…apparently 
the Pirate convention was jacking up prices. 
We took to the road for another of the scenic drives. This one was the Old Spanish Trail from Houma to Breaux Bridge, LA. The route took us along the bayou as we passed stately sugar cane plantation homes. Sort of like the ones from Fletch 2, if anyone but me saw the movie. We hit a few of the designated homes, and they were pretty, but not as breathtaking as expected.
But the bayou was great.
We stopped for lunch at a small town called Franklin. They were coincidentally having a Bear
festival, but it didn’t start til 5PM, and they didn’t think any bears were coming anyway. I relaxed by the bayou and waved at the passing boaters. New Orleans was great, but it certainly was a pleasure to leave it behind and get out on the road a bit.
I’ll be dropping CuzJoe off at the airport early tomorrow, and will probably drive as the sun rises toward Oxford, MS.

Did you go in the "casino"?
Not the casino in the picture...perhaps no one will see it, but I took that picture not because of the Casino (there was one in every town), but because of the small print for the Drive-thru daqueries. Are there any laws in Louisianna?
And, no I didn't go in the casino...I did go in Harrah's in N.O. and left after an hour up $100.
