Day 3 Slidell, Louisiana..Miles, today—60 mi. Trip miles--700

First thing today was back down town and onto Keesler AFB:

The boy and his mom at the hospital where he was born.

While we were shooting the pictures a young Airman came down the steps, about 20 yrs old. I told her we were just taking pictures of the hospital our son was born in over 50 yrs ago. She looked bewildered, like, has this place been here that long? LOL

BELOW (Back to yesterday), this is a picture I took of Sherry while we were waiting at the Casino, Note the sign behind, now you know!.

 

Leaving Biloxi, Stopped by Flying J in Gulfport, MS took on 77 Gallons of Diesel @ $3.72, we are getting 8 MPG on this trip. Good for this Cummings and hoping to do better on the flat lands. LOL

We stopped by the Stinnis Space Center Welcome center (I-10). They have the Limb on display (remember the moon landing?).

It was a short ride down the Gulf Coast, of course a lot of memories of the first time we drove down to NOLA. Thru Picayune, MS to Slidel where we decided to Park so we could drive into Nawlins to sightsee. We hope to get a river ride in along with the beneighs and coffee.

Some of you have met Fred Alton here on the net. We met him in Biloxi, I was an Airman he a Petty Officer in the Coast Guard. We had something in common. We lived in the same trailer park, and he was a preachers kid. I bring that up because he had lived in Nawlins when his dad pastored a church there. He had lots of tales of New Orleans, Louisiana (NOLA).

Also a very serious note. Remember our friend Fred in your prayers.

We are in Pine Crest RV Park in Slidell, Louisiana. We have already went down to the French Quarter, to the Café du Monde, and had coffee and beneighs.

The Church in the back ground is St. Louis Cathedral in the French Quarter.

It is absolutely beautiful inside.

The wooden amplifier behind the pulpit is hand carded, along with the pulpit itself, works of art.

More NOLA tomorrow.

Thanks for traveling with us.
