We slept a bit late, caught a free breakfast at the Travelodge, then loaded up quickly and hit the interstate for the BORING ride through Texas and Louisiana. Almost as if there is some massive dividing line between the south and the west, we wandered into mutant country. The drivers slowly got more stupid, and the people looked even more mutated. I pulled into a gas station outside Shreveport, and saw some low life with a ponytail, shaved sides of his head with tattoos in his scalp, and a bunch of other Louisiana inbreds. I sadly acknowledged our return to the south, and we made it to the Days Inn in Lafayette just as the sun went down.
The hotel was very nice, clean, and the rooms were large. I stayed there last year, and knew I wanted to stay again due to the cleanliness and inexpensiveness of the hotel.
The next day, we were back on US 19 in Florida, driving back into reality. The humidity was back, and Florida's flat, green and boring landscape made us realize that we needed to take another vacation.....soon!
