The train's lounge |
The little adventure started with a train ride from San Antonio to New Orleans, Louisiana. A long 15 hour ride, but worth the experience. A good option to travel on a tight budget and spare time. The service is fairly good, comfortable seating, a lounge, dining room, and private rooms for long trips.
Too bad this transportation system does not receive the support it deserves. Municipal areas and businesses along the rail road tracks should keep the view clean and free of eye sores.
Debris, dumpsters and scrap metal yards... |
On a second trip, I rented a car for a quicker return home. Driving through I-10 towards Louisiana was a refreshing change from the dry Texan plains. Passing miles of rivers, lakes and swamps was a beautiful contrast of regions.
The down side of the car trip? Dead baby alligators along the roadside. The inevitable habitat species victims of progress.

As I said, a blessing. Being with family, meeting new friends, witnessing a promise of love, and enjoying the beauty of nature that is still around us. Can't ask for more!
