New Orleans to Big Bend

real estate pitch in southern Louisiana
 "butter"
we had beignets across the street from the Event Center
immense live oaks are everywhere
elevation above sea level: 3'

the Gulf coast
checking out the local resorts 


'course, your stilt house has to share the beach with this......

... and this.
new friends in San Antonio
Pat peeled us an orange
she collects things...
terrific library
a very cool copy of O Henry stories in braille
there was a stuffed owl on the living room floor
Pat has a freezer filled with road kill birds
a tub with toys...
and another room with a bit of everything

from San Antonio to Seminole Canyon
Sue went for a walk
saw the cool canyon with the oldest rock art in north america (but didn't see the art)

Susan waiting by the crossroads for the devil
Seminole Canyon is.... remote 
the weird shelter was welcome
dinner over the desert

getting closer to Big Bend
camping in Chisos Basin, Big Bend National Park

looking for lions
Sue on the Lost Mine Trail

zzzzzz
upgraded cocktail hour 

Sue bit her lip 
remote canyon  

Mexico from the South Rim
12.5 mile foot


it was cold
Sunrise from Chisos Basin

found a secret hot spring along the Rio Grande - 105 degrees


the river was just cold enough
