Mar 23 - Leaving Texas, hello Louisiana!

  We had a 4 hour drive to our next campground, and we stopped along the way to have lunch in the RV, on this cute little side road loop park-like area, that we just happened upon.  Louisiana sure looks different than Texas.  Not so different from New England, with all of the tall trees growing wherever it is not cultivated or populated.  And speaking of farmland.  The parcels of land being farmed are all underwater-shallow, square ponds.  They are growing crayfish and rice.
  We don't care for the heat and the humidity.  And I'm not a real fan of this campground, either.  We are near Lafayette, Louisiana.  We originally wanted to stay here because it is in the heart of Cajun country, and we had hoped to visit local music venues and bars to hear some good Cajun music.  Lois and Ken had even given us some places to visit.  Also, it is near the Atchafalaya National Wildlife Refuge, where you can take swamp tours to see the wildlife.  Of course, now, both of those things are cancelled. 
  This campground is not like a beautiful state park, that we can just hangout pleasantly for a few days.  The highway is on one side of the park, which consists of a long single road, with campsites on either side of the road.  And a ditch with a small stream, lined with trees, on the other side (our side, fortunately). 
  We just got a call from Tiffin saying our scheduled RV appointment to have the RV worked on needs to be rescheduled to the next week, as they have cancelled all appointments for 2 weeks.  So, in the morning, we get to refigure out our remaining itinerary.  Oh well.  Us and the rest of the world.
