Across the South

Sunday we stopped in El Paso Texas and spent a few hours at the Chamizal National Memorial on the border with Mexico, learning the history of the border there.

When we reached the junction with I-20, we turned northeast and drove to Fort Worth, where we spent a few hours visiting Bryan Monday evening. 

We then continued across Texas to Louisiana, and stopped at the Cane River Creole National Historic Park, where we learned about plantation life in central Louisiana. We stayed the night in Sidell.

Yesterday we made our way across Mississippi and into Alabama. We stopped to walk around the Bass Pro shop in Spanish Fort Alabama and at the nearby Buc-ee's. Shortly thereafter we entered Florida. 

We were still a few hours from home when the tire on our U-Haul trailer came apart. Luckily we didn't have to wait too long until someone came out and replaced it. After this trip and the one in November I have driven across the U.S. fifteen times.
