It's always exciting to hit a new state when you are driving. Everytime you see the "Welcome To....." sign, it just affirms that you're making progress and you're somewhere new.
However, the cross over into Mississippi and Louisiana just weren't up to the same snuff as when we hit the border of Texas.
I mean this snuff was totally different...
So, there are just some things that stick out at me during a trip, for starters the Gas Station/Casinos in Louisiana were pretty amazing. We didn't go into one, but it was amusing to me to see a gas station lit up like the MGM Grand.
Another thing that stuck out to me were the truth in some of the famous Texas stereotypes.
Yes, many people chose to wear large cowboy hats here. It's just a fact. We've seen it in great detail.
This picture I took in a gas station pretty much sums it up for me:
Yes, "WESTERN SHIRTS" are for sale at every gas station. What is a western shirt? Glad you asked:
That. Is.
Denim on Denim and happy to do it for you. The buttons snap on, so there's none of that pesky traditional buttoning up to waste my time before heading out for a long day of work.
I did pay the 19.99 for the shirt, wouldn't you?
So today has been a pretty nice success... don't forget to check out the video section of this Jax2Jax page. We are constantly live web chatting with our live stream of the trip and the interaction is a nice way to break up hours and hours of highway. It'll keep justin and I from killing eachother.
Monday morning we are live on Good Morning Jacksonville from our RV in Jacksonville, Texas. Kind of the morning routine before we head out and start gathering video and interviews for our 6:00pm show live shots. It'll be a busy day, probably the busiest of the week. Tomorrow night after we're live at 11pm, we'll be hitting the road for our next Jacksonville.
Feel free to venture some guesses as to where that will be.
Mahalo,
Lew
