Day 22 and 23 with Ruby and Rocket

OH I had a beautiful drive to the Brec Farr RV Equestrian Park.  I passed beautiful farm land and it was very Bayou like with lots of character.  Then I came to my first big bridge and prayed a lot!  (It's the first bridge pic) Very scarry and thought I was crossing the Mississippi.  Then I came to a long drive on Rt 1 which took me along Lake Mondu which was beautiful.  Lots of pretty homes with docks and boats and OH I wanted to pull off and just stay but of course there was nowhere to stop.  That’s been some of my limitations on taking pictures.  It’s hard to get Ruby stopped let alone finding a place I can get in and out of easily.  Anyway I thought I’d crossed the Mississippi but no it was the Atchafalaya River. So pretty soon I come to this really big freaking bridge and I start praying again because it is the MISSISSIPPI and holy shit it was scarry!  I had to take a turn just before I get over it but manage holding my breath and find my way past LSU and to the Brec Farr Equestrian RV Park.
Glad that was over! It is so peaceful here and I have the most beautiful view out my dining room of fabulous horses.  See pictures.  I fixed the shrimp I bought a day or so ago and it was wonderful.  Hard to peel but well worth it – much different than the shrimp we get in the market.  YUMMY!
We have another day here tomorrow so hopefully we’ll be able to do some site seeing.
Happy Easter! Miss my kids.  Thank You Kim and Lindy for having them for Brunch and giving them their Easter Baskets.  Yes, I still do that and sometimes I even make them hunt for them!
We started out on Rocket and made our way downtown.  Did some site seeing along the Mississippi and saw my bridge! Had some crab cakes at a restaurant on the river.  We road around Baton Rouge a little and through the LSU Campus.  It’s really pretty here and not too warm or humid.
We’re off to Independence, LA – See ya’ll later!
