Hattiesburg, New Orleans and San Antonio

 Hattiesburg, MS was our first stop where we had dinner with sister-in-law Vivian Fitzpatrick, nephews KC, and Ray (and beautiful girlfriend, Shelley) who we had not seen in way too long.   On to Ponchatrain Landing outside New Orleans for 3 days.  We LOVE New Orleans so we went to our usual haunts—Jackson Square, Felix’s, Café DuMonde, Bourbon Street, Bombay Club in Hotel Conti.  Had dinner at Tujague’s and while out in the Garden district we found a new favorite –Superior Seafood (we had Profiteroles for dessert-yum). 

Had to have some oysters at Felix's

It rhymes!  Bourbon Street was torn up to put down new drainage but we managed

New Orleans and San Antonio are celebrating 300 years anniversary in 2018

Haven't managed to remove Andrew Jackson from Jackson Square yet.

Peyton's Childhood home in the Garden District
 

Café DuMonde is a must--yummy beignets

Superior Seafood in the Garden District--we will return

On Saturday after Thanksgiving we were on the road again toward San Antonio.  What a wonderful new-to-us destination.  We stayed at World Travelers RV, 3 miles from Riverwalk—we will go back.  Close to a good bike trail, the city bus and easy to get to. We had great margaritas, dinner at the top of the Towers of America space needle and walked the Riverwalk. 3 days later, we traveled down I-37 by Corpus Christi, to our winter home—VIP La Feria RV near Harlingen, Tx.  We are 7 miles from the Mexican border and assured that there are very few temps below 50 degrees.  There are a lot of mid-western “Winter Texans” here—mostly from Wisconsin and Missouri.

 



At the Alamo they had docents that explained the weaponry and details of the 1836 battle for Texas



The Riverwalk is very cool-a river like roads through downtown San Antonio.  They had decorated for Christmas and we took the boat trip throughout.

Will have to return for the Cinderella ride through town.

This is where the Alamo Bowl is played--hopefully Tennessee will return to bowl games some day. 

We had a fabulous dinner at the top of the Towers of America, this was built for the 1968 Worlds Fair and now Landry's has the revolving restaurant atop.



Sunny Days-RV liked the Travelers' World RV there--best we have seen since Florida last year.
