This morning before we headed out we took a quick drive around Lafayette. We stopped at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist, a historic Roman Catholic cathedral. It was the first church in the Lafayette Parish, founded in 1821 on property donated by Jean Mouton, built in the Romanesque Revival style. Cool-looking,…

We bought some local Wrights of Texas fresh green salsa when we were shopping at Whole Foods last week, and whoa it's a bit addictive. See the jar? Notice that it's empty? The whole jar. Gone in about 5 days. Must get more before we leave San Antonio. I just…

Yeah, there's a little road noise here at River Ranch RV, but mostly you don't notice it (especially with the AC running most of the time.) The campground Wi-Fi is really good, plus we have strong cell service with AT&T (probably Verizon is solid here too) so it makes a…
