Shreveport/Bossier City, LA

We left Jacksonville at about 10:30 for our hour and a half drive.  The morning is beautiful, sunny and cool after getting some rain last night.

We arrived at the Diamond Jacks Casino RV park by noon.   It is pretty nice here.  We had been here in our 5th wheel about 4 years ago.  We got set up; just relaxed for a few hours.

Looking out the window, I see Manuel going up to our neighbors who have driven up in an Allegro Bus....

They are coming from Red Bay (they live 10 miles from Red Bay) and he tells Manuel all is good in Red Bay,  so we will head out in the morning.

3 pm lunch, my eye. I know you guys, remember? At least Manuel is happy with his day. He was just worn out after driving so long.
