My sweetheart is still officially on vacation and after a day cleaning up the yard yesterday, we are out of the house this morning. It's a beautiful day and we'er going walking --- first at the zoo. The hippos are out and enjoying the morning too. What a great beginning.

Louisiana Trip - Day Six - Back in Texas and Heading Home


From there the road takes us to Lufkin, TX and we have not stopped at a single antique shop on this trip, so now seems like a great time. Again, it deserves a post of its own, so click this link
Antique Fun to see all that we did. As we are driving through downtown, Mister spots a building with a "quilt" pattern on it. How fun.

Louisiana Trip - Day Five - Opelousas to Jasper, TX

Going southwest, about an hour later, we are in Crowley and we stop to walk around a bit. A beautiful church stands on one corner and we find ourselves making that the first place to explore. Saint Michael The Archangel Catholic Church was established in 1897. It is of Italian Renaissance architecture and cost about $40,000 to construct. The current renovation, which was completed in 2015, cost approximately $2.8 million. Goodness. (Two cameras, two developers - I have brightened all my pictures to show detail -- Mister's show incredible atmosphere)

Louisiana Trip - Day Four - South of Opelousas


Last night at dinner, Lacey gave us a recommendation for coffee this morning. That is first up on the agenda is Java Square Cafe, housed in an old bank building. One of the reviews we read said, "Perfect little off beaten coffee shop. . . used to be an old bank . . .they have precious seating in the vault . . walls laced with nostalgia settled in downtown Opelousas among street murals and oak trees." Yep, spot on.

Louisiana Trip - Day Three - Natchitoches to Opelousas
Good Morning Natchitoches!!! Did you hear that as Robin Williams said it? At any rate, we are packed up and ready to depart this wonderful city. I truly to love it here and could easily see living in the area. Yep, I like it that much. Our view on the river this morning is interesting. It appears that a large "lily pad" type event is taking place, but moving quickly and by the time we get out our cameras, it is almost too late. Can you see it drifting away? At one time the whole area was covered.
