Day Thirty Seven: Austin, Texas to Lake Charles, Louisiana

Waterfront walk, Lake Charles

We travelled a fair distance today and arrived in Lake Charles this afternoon.  The downtown borders on the beautiful Lake Charles.  There are some stately southern homes along the lakeshore.  Bob's Uncle Ken and Aunt Vivian lived in Lake Charles for years, so it holds some personal significance for us. This is Cajun country and we
are looking forward to sampling some of the local fare.  

For the moment, we are riveted to the T.V., watching the rescue of the Chilean miners.  

Trip Mileage:  4876 miles 

Fine old home, Lake Charles
