Last day in New Orleans. We woke up late, took showers, ate & then drove into the French Quarter again. Peg wanted to see the cathedral across from Jackson Square. It is okay if you like churches. On one side of it is something known as the Prebytere and on the other is something called the Cabildo. Together they make up the NO Museum but, as usual, they were closed when we got there.
The humidity is ferocious and the dew point is low so when we went to see the Mississippi River ½ a block south of Jackson Square. Since the river was colder than the air, dense fog forms over the river and blows into town. Very strange.
We hopped back into Charlotte and drove through the Garden District again. New Orleans is beautiful but it has some of the stupidest and most discourteous drivers in the world. The roads are shit and there is construction everywhere and they don’t provide access around blocked roads, lanes or other creative snafus.
We ultimately got back to I-10 after driving a ways up the river. Once back at the Invader, we did the dreaded laundry we bailed on yesterday. I also filled the fresh water tank, dumped the black and gray water, dropped the slide-out jacks, stowed all the shit and got ready for tomorrow’s departure. Thank God for CATV.
